ASCEND HOTEL COLLECTION

We provide an upscale hotel collection of boutique, unique, and historic properties with a strong local identity. Our hotels are designed for travelers who want a stay that feels distinct from a standard chain hotel and offers variety, character, and attentive guest service. Many of our hotels are conversions of existing properties, while new construction may be considered if it fits our design standards. Our hotels typically feature an upscale dining restaurant on-site or nearby, along with the amenities expected in a full-service upscale stay. We operate in the hotel industry, serving guests looking for a memorable lodging experience tied to the local market.
