 LOS
COLINAS, TEX (June 12, 2006) � Three former executives of the Philadelphia-based
Melrose Hotel Company have launched Access Hotel Advisors, a full-service
hotel management and advisory company. Hoteliers Tom Baker, Barry
Caplan and Mark Lahood now manage the 4-star Melrose Hotel Dallas and plan
to expand rapidly into other markets nationwide. Access Hotel Advisors
will provide hotel owners, developers and financial investors a trusted
partner to manage all projects and assets.
The entrepreneurs formed Access Hotel Advisors to launch a new era in hotel management and consultation. Unlike traditional firms, the principals have developed a unique approach to allow owners open �access� to their hotels. Their method, coupled with a strategic focus on property operations and sales, provides owners with industry leading results. �We have been fortunate to be on both the owner and management side of this business. With a dual view approach, we focus on opening the communication lines between the management company and owners. This has proved very successful in our management performance for The Melrose Hotel Dallas.� Principal Tom Baker said. Access Hotel Advisors has highly invested in proprietary technology to streamline operational functionality, communication and analysis capabilities. �In our years of experience we�ve seen the ups and downs in this industry. We�ve been able to analyze and address the challenges that face most hotel owners with our systematic approach. Our capabilities allow us to provide real-time information systems that allow for open communication with owners,� says Lahood. Along with the advanced technology and open access made available to owners, the company brings an entrepreneurial spirit to an old industry. �The hotel management business has advanced slowly. The same operation and management techniques that were used in the 80�s or 90�s are often all that many management companies know. We threw out the cookie-cutter methods and started over. We�ve developed a new approach for a new day in hotel management. This is the time for change and we�re the guys to lead the charge as we have successfully done in the past,� says Baker. Innovative management solutions include strategic alliances and partnerships that provide web-based integrated accounting and sales programs, advanced e-commerce and internet marketing solutions, and shared database management. These mechanisms support the consistent level of service and superior revenue generation delivered by Access Hotel Advisors. Access Hotel Advisors is a full-service hospitality consulting firm specializing in hotel, project and asset management. Led by an extraordinary team of accomplished hoteliers, Access Hotel Advisors provides hotel owners, developers and financial investors a trusted partner to evaluate and manage all projects and assets.
