HVMG Closes Out 2018 with Record Growth
ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hospitality Ventures Management Group (HVMG), an Atlanta-based, private
hotel investment, ownership and management company, has announced it has
taken over management of the 116-room DoubleTree
by Hilton Vail, Colorado. The hotel marks the company’s 20th hotel
addition in 2018 resulting in a record growth year.
“With the exciting addition of the DoubleTree by Hilton Vail, HVMG’s
portfolio grew more than 50 percent in 2018,” said Robert Cole,
president & CEO, HVMG. “With our depth and expertise operating upper
upscale, destination properties and resorts, we are well equipped to
quickly improve the market share and profitability of this property. We
ended 2018 on a high note, which included assuming management of the
brand new Hard Rock Hotel Daytona Beach and the opening of the new
Embassy Suites by Hilton St. Augustine Beach Oceanfront Resort, and we
see 2019 as having further opportunities to grow our portfolio and
strengthen our operating results.”
The Vail hotel recently underwent a transformative renovation and
conversion to the DoubleTree by Hilton brand. The completely reimaged
and “like-new” hotel is located at 2211 N. Frontage Road in Vail, Colo.,
a short shuttle ride to Vail Mountain Resort, and proximate to Beaver
Creek. With a “Mountain Modern” design, the hotel features a
lodge-inspired lobby and bar with a ten-foot, double-sided glass
fireplace framed by a dramatic LED-accented slate wall and plenty of
comfortable/casual and family friendly seating to encourage guests to
hangout après ski and after dinner. Decor features natural aesthetics,
including wood walls throughout the lobby, bar and great room; front
desk framed by a stunning, art-accented, charred wood, wall backdrop;
modern, large format, white tile throughout the lobby, great room and
corridors; and custom framed prints that provide a sense of place. Guest
rooms were designed for skiing families, and finishes are true to the
Modern Mountain design aesthetic, featuring wood walls accenting comfy,
pleather headboards, “live edge” style wood desks and built-in,
wood-trimmed “portals” housing refrigerators, in-room safes and coffee
makers. Most regular guestrooms provide daybed sofas that can be
utilized for additional sleeping capacity in both double queen and king
rooms. The hotel also includes a mix of 19 one- and two-bedroom loft
suites that are ideal for families, featuring gas fireplaces, full
kitchens and balconies. All guestrooms provide complimentary Wi-Fi and
feature 50” HDTVs.
Hotel amenities include one of the best back yards in all of Vail, with
direct sun exposure from mid-morning to sunset and featuring a giant hot
tub, an outdoor heated pool, fire pits and a bucolic outdoor fireplace.
Oversized pool area rest rooms include showers and extra changing space
for those families wishing to check out and ski on their last day. The
on-premise Charter Sports ski and bike shop provides for all the
equipment needs of skiers and snowboarders (winter) and mountain bikers
(summer). The hotel also features a large, state-of-the-art fitness
center overlooking the backyard. Additionally, five treatment rooms are
available for a variety of massage treatment options at the on-site
Simply Massage. Recently mentioned in a New York Times article,
the hotel’s lobby lounge also houses the first co-working space in Vail
through a partnership with Proximity Space, creating a perfect place for
guests to seamlessly work, play and relax. With more than 4,900 square
feet of meeting and banquet facilities, the hotel is a perfect
destination to host memorable events in a resort setting. During the
winter season, the approximately 2,000 square foot Terrace Ballroom
features a variety of games, including pool, ping pong, foosball and
cornhole toss. With large windows fronting the hotel’s serene backyard,
the Terrace Ballroom is a fantastic venue for meetings and social
catering events.
Guests are invited to dine at one of the hotel’s three restaurants.
Pivot62, housed in the hotel’s beautiful lobby with high ceilings and
large windows overlooking the mountainside, provides shareable plates
and local craft beer. The Westside Café, a famous breakfast place among
locals and tourists alike, serves casual American classics for three
meals daily, and the Casa Mexico offers authentic, made-to-order Mexican
food serving lunch and dinner. Guest also can order room service or pick
up grab-n-go items from the Colorado Made Market.
“Vail, Colorado has an exceptional reputation as one of the premier
locations for winter sports, routinely listed in the top 10 of SKI
Magazine’s Annual Resort Rankings,” Cole added. “Guests come to the area
expecting the latest amenities and luxuries after spending a long day on
the slopes. The recent conversion, coupled with our hardworking on-site
and corporate support teams, ensures that the DoubleTree by Hilton Vail
will be a source of many wonderful memories for leisure, group and
business travelers alike.”
