Executives at Real Hospitality Group (RHG) have expanded the portfolio with the new development projects slated to open in the last quarter of this year.
The company increased its footprint earlier this year, with additions of new lifestyle brands that included the Hotel Shocard Times Square and a lifestyle boutique hotel project in Manhattan’s Midtown South area.
Real’s portfolio includes the Bethany Beach Ocean Suites and Crowne Plaza, Wilmington North.
The company, based in Ocean City, MD, is preparing for the opening of eight new projects in New York, Miami and the Mid-Atlantic resort area.
“The investment we made in the early stages of development with our owners on these projects are continuing our commitment to delivering top-quality results for our owner groups,” said Ben Seidel, president and CEO, Real Hospitality Group.
Hotel projects include:
Dual Brand Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites – Miami Dolphin Mall – opened September 28. This 232-room, 11-story tower is host to a 132-room Hilton Garden Inn and 100-room Homewood Suites by Hilton. Bar Flamenco Lounge and Grille serves flavors from the local food scene. With 5,500 sq. ft. of meeting space, outdoor pool and fitness center, the two hotels offer distinct lobbies, and a combination of texture and style indicative of their Miami roots.
