in a bid to create lasting value .
“ I think , fundamentally , we ’ re very good at managing a business ,” Edwards says . “ We know how to make money , we know how to manage a hotel or manage a resort properly . Not only do we know the nuts and bolts of hotel management well , we do it in a way that allows you , as the property owner , to have an opinion and a perspective on how your business should operate . This balance allows the General Manager and the local team at the property to have a voice in the equation .”
The road ahead Despite its short history , Two Roads Hospitality has grown rapidly to become one of the world ’ s largest independent lifestyle hotel management companies . Offering the flexibility of a lean and agile organization with the scale property owners need to succeed , Two Roads Hospitality has gone head-to-head with some of the industry ’ s major brands . In doing so , the company is ready for the next generation of travellers – expressive , engaged individuals who want to truly experience a place and who appreciate the personalized touch the company brings to its portfolio .
With 70 North American properties under its wing , the company ’ s history has continued on an upward trajectory . But when the hospitality sector is rapidly innovating and evolving , what does the future hold for Two Roads Hospitality ?
“ At Two Roads Hospitality I ’ m surprised every day ,” reflects Edwards . “ We have a very busy business development team who are focused on acquiring new management agreements with some very unique properties in unique markets . However , we ’ re being very purposeful about how we select those opportunities . We want to get into good business partnerships and good business relationships . I ’ m surprised every day at how sophisticated that is . That ’ s really an art and a science . Looking forward , I think our portfolio will continue to grow but I think we ’ re going to grow smartly .”
