Emerald Hospitality Associates, Inc.
About
Emerald Hospitality Associates is a full service Hotel Management and Consulting Company providing a wide range of specialized hospitality industry services. It was founded in 1999 by its' current President James R. Gerish. As a graduate of Michigan State University and a seasoned veteran of the hotel industry Mr. Gerish identified a need in the industry for a hotel management company that provided hotel / restaurant investors with the sort of skills and expertise necessary to obtain the greatest return on their investment while consistently delivering hands-on personalized service.
Emerald Hospitality became a results-oriented team committed to the tradition of true hospitality. In order to establish Emerald Hospitality as a leader in this segment of the hospitality industry a corporate culture was developed that allowed open discussion and consistent communication that in turn provided owners/investors with the bottom line results they desired. Emerald Hospitality approached the investor/management company relationship in a very unique manner, never allowing one single owner or entity to become more important than the group. This approach has allowed Emerald Hospitality to build a diverse portfolio of quality properties and satisfied owners.
Emerald Hospitality has developed a philosophy built upon the principle that each decision we make is defined by what is best for our employees, guests and clients. All important decisions are discussed in an open management style, which fosters each person's input and allows for empowered associates and satisfied owners/investors. This allows our associates, owners and guests the necessary confidence in our abilities which in turn ultimately builds the loyalty required to achieve success in the very competitive hotel industry.
As a company it is our goal to focus on anticipating and exceeding the needs of our guests' and clients'. We have developed a communications style and mutual support system, recognizing that the composite talents of all the associates throughout Emerald and its' managed hotels define our strength. Our management development approach has been to assemble the best Hospitality professionals for every position from top to bottom. We do not try to assemble a group of individuals who resemble each other, but recognize that each person will have something unique to contribute to the management team and overall success of our hotels. Emerald Hospitality is very proud of our strong commitment to hiring, training, and retaining the best "Hospitality Spirit" professionals the industry has to offer.
As a mid size Management Company Emerald is poised to offer the personal hands on commitment often desired by many owners/investors. At the same time, our corporate structure is very reminiscent of many larger hotel management companies. With a diverse group of corporate officers Emerald Hospitality has the wealth of experience and depth of support often associated with only large management companies but delivers the personalized service and commitment that is often overlooked by these larger companies. At Emerald Hospitality we take pride in our corporate culture that fosters growth and enrichment in every level of our structure, for personnel and owners.
Our properties consistently perform above the industry norm. We attribute that to the basics of our overall management strategy of promoting employee growth, continuously striving for bottom line improvement and providing superior asset management. We firmly believe our business tenets will prove our worth. Our current success has been a direct result of the teamwork we have fostered. We value listening and respect input on all levels. Ultimately, this is what allows the opportunity for all parties involved in the relationship to achieve their desired results and it is what continues to set Emerald apart from other Hotel Management companies. Partnering with Emerald Hospitality as your full service management solution will guarantee you an opportunity to experience the difference first hand.
