Denver, Colo. (July 17, 2012) – Denver-based Sage Hospitality, an established leader in hotel management, development and ownership, has announced that it now manages the Embassy Suites Denver - Downtown/Convention Center .  The 403-room convention center hotel will join Sage’s Full Service Division as the largest and first urban property in the portfolio of 10 full service hotels across the United States.

“We are excited to add the Embassy Suites brand to the Sage portfolio,” said Jim Darter, Senior Vice President of the Full Service Division.  “This hotel is already one of the top performers in the downtown area and is currently ranked No. 1 in Denver by their guests on TripAdvisor.  We look forward to using all of Sage’s market strength to attain breakthrough performance in the coming years.”

This addition to the hotel management company continues an aggressive growth strategy as Sage Hospitality continues to look for new management and acquisition opportunities across the U.S.  Recently, Sage acquired contracts with 12 properties in Ohio for their Select Service division, and the Premier & Lifestyle division continues to look for new acquisitions while managing other Denver hotel leaders such as the Curtis – a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and the Oxford Hotel.
