about us

MERIT HOTEL GROUP was established by hoteliers and entrepreneurs with a passion for their industry with the mission to maximize the value of investments in our people and products. Our goal is to develop a portfolio of great hotels managed by exceptional people with an intense focus on superior guest service which, in turn, translates to superior ROIs. 

Our shared core values, an innovative culture, and commitment to serve are essential to our partner’s success. We optimize hotel owner investment objectives in any market cycle whether a single or multi-hotel acquisition.  

Since 1989, Merit Hotel Group has exclusively focused on the acquisition and development of hospitality properties in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.  Projects have included the following brands:  Starwood, Marriott, Hilton, Choice and Best Western.  Merit has developed hotels for third parties and has owned and operated independent boutique hotels, too. 

MHG's founders developed this mission from a combined 60 years of industry experience based on five key principles:
Motivated
