Aimbridge Hospitality

Guest experiences are shaped not just by what you see, but by the creative decisions our property teams make to delight and surprise. This moment at the Sheraton Park Plaza at Disneyland Resort, part of our managed portfolio, showcases how we encourage our people to go above and beyond every day, for every guest, every time.

Innovation drives how we deliver unmatched value for owners. Custom-built to redefine our approach to results and reporting, Aimbridge Intelligence centralizes key metrics and empowers owners and operations teams with near-real-time insights, streamlining operations and informing smarter, swifter decisions. This platform transforms raw data into actionable strategies to drive stronger performance and better guest experiences.

Our managed portfolio spans all verticals and markets, and the experts on our team are using their knowledge to create continued success. Travis Burns, Vice President of Development, shared his insights at the recent IMN Extended Stay Forum, moderating the panel “How Do You Drive ESOcc to Your Hotels?” and serving as a panelist during the “Ask an Operator” session. “Extended Stay has emerged as one of the most resilient and exciting spaces for hotel owners and developers,” he said. “Extended Stay properties have a distinct value proposition that comes with a unique operating model, and this event was a great opportunity to connect with leaders in the extended stay space to discuss how Aimbridge’s experience drives best in class results for our owners.”

Join us in celebrating our own Ravi Gaur, General Manager of The Westin Alexandria Old Town, recognized by HOTEL MANAGEMENT Magazine as a 2024 GM to Watch. “Being named one of the GMs to Watch is an incredible honor that reflects the hard work and dedication of my entire team,” Ravi said. “I’m motivated to continue striving for excellence and to inspire my team to reach new heights.” Congratulations, Ravi! Your leadership exemplifies the Aimbridge Way, elevating our guest and associate experience. Here’s to your continued growth!

Veterans have a profound impact on our hotels and the hospitality industry at large, bringing invaluable skills and keen instincts to important roles! Through our partnership with RecruitMilitary, we’re committed to supporting veterans as they transition into civilian careers, connecting them with meaningful opportunities in our hotels across the country. Their strengths—leadership, collaboration, dedication, and problem-solving—make them ideal candidates for high-pressure, fast-paced hotel environments. These military values of teamwork, selflessness, and continuous improvement also reflect our Aimbridge values. We're proud to have military veterans as part of our expansive workforce and to support them at Aimbridge—a place to grow, succeed, and belong.

We showed up big at the Big Apple Star Awards! Last month, Aimbridge team members representing nearly a dozen hotels in New York City attended this award event, hosted by the Hotel Association Of New York City. The event recognizes outstanding contributions in hospitality, from guest-facing roles to vital behind-the-scenes positions, and the 20 nominees representing Aimbridge have gone above and beyond in delivering exceptional guest service, maintaining operational excellence and fostering a welcoming environment at our properties. A special thanks to Heather Davis and Charlie Banta for representing our Above Property team at the event— we’re already looking forward to next year!
