Since then, we have grown to become one of the countrys largest independent hospitality management companies with more than 7,500 employees, over 7,000 guest rooms, and more than $1.5 billion in assets under management. We are a subsidiary of Los Angeles-based Lowe Enterprises, a privately held, national real estate organization active in commercial and hospitality property investment, management, and development. Since its inception, Lowe has been responsible for more than $6 billion in prominent real estate assets nationwide.

Destination Hotels & Resorts is unique in the lodging industry in that our primary mission is to create value for guests, investors, and associates in each of our properties. We do this by developing an innovative, customized business and service plan for each property we manage and combining it with the sales, marketing, and operating resources of a company many times our size. This lodging industry expertise, together with the real estate experience of Lowe Enterprises, has allowed us to bring a different perspective to the hospitality management business.
