ATLANTA, GA. – Hospitality Ventures Management Group (HVMG), an Atlanta-based, private hotel management company, today revealed that it has more than $200 million in its current development and construction pipeline. The assignments are a mixture of new build and renovation projects.
“With the hotel industry enjoying some of its highest periods of occupancy and ever increasing ADR, savvy hoteliers are getting ahead of the game by either building new product or improving what already is in the portfolio to meet the demands of today’s travelers,” said Robert S. Cole, HVMG president and CEO. “The leading industry experts continue to predict robust industry growth in the near term. We are positioning our strategy and portfolio to maximize this growth.”
HVMG has the following projects in its pipeline:
1. SpringHill Suites Orange Beach – Located at the Wharf, an 80,000 square foot, mixed-use entertainment destination in Orange Beach, Ala., the new build hotel began construction in June 2015, with the grand opening scheduled for the spring 2016.

As part of the value-add repositioning strategy, HVMG has developed a new concept for the lobby bar and restaurant called “Veranda,” offering a creative menu of classic American cuisine and a cocktail program featuring fresh and natural ingredients.
3. Embassy Suites Atlanta Galleria – Situated near the new home of the Atlanta Braves, the hotel has just embarked on a major renovation that will encompass a complete redesign of all guest rooms, the Atrium, meeting space and the building’s exterior.
