Time-tested experience
Since 1985, Stanford has purchased hotels beginning with expedient
acquisitions of under-performing properties. Of the 13 hotels the
Company holds today, all boast significantly improved sales and
market valuation. Stanford maintains an aggressive yet careful
growth strategy that has two aims, the purchase of major hotels in
major metropolitan areas, and the development of large-scale hotels
when property purchases in a given market are not advantageous.
Streamlined and responsive
Stanford's distinctive hand’s-on management philosophy contributes
significantly to its overall success. Stanford hires experienced
managers and invests them with the authority and responsibility for
day-to-day operations. However, services and expertise that
are normally too costly to exist within every hotel are available
from the corporate office. These support services include project
management, centralized accounting, information technology,
landscape architecture, interior and lighting design among others.
The results -- lower overhead plus timely response to individual
needs and rapid decisions for solutions.
