This recognition reflects HEI’s continued growth, disciplined investment strategy, and unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional experiences for guests, owners, associates, and brand partners.
Over the past year, HEI has continued to strengthen its portfolio of luxury, upper-upscale, and full-service hotels and resorts while investing in operational excellence, food and beverage innovation, digital marketing, revenue optimization, and associate development. From iconic urban destinations to award-winning resorts, HEI’s portfolio continues to demonstrate the strength and diversity that have become hallmarks of the company.
The recognition comes during a year of continued momentum for HEI. Earlier this year, 35 HEI-managed hotels and resorts were nominated for Condé Nast Traveler’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards, further demonstrating the strength of the company’s portfolio and its commitment to exceptional hospitality.
For more than 35 years, HEI has built its reputation by combining entrepreneurial ownership with best-in-class hotel management, operating some of the nation’s most distinctive luxury, upper-upscale, and full-service hotels under the industry’s leading brands, including Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and independent luxury collections. This balanced approach has enabled the company to grow thoughtfully while maintaining a strong focus on operational performance, associate engagement, and long-term value creation.
Recognition in HOTELS Magazine’s 2026 The List reinforces HEI’s position as one of the hospitality industry’s premier management companies and reflects the company’s continued investment in innovation, exceptional service, and enduring partnerships.
As HEI continues to expand its portfolio and invest in its people, the company remains focused on creating memorable guest experiences while delivering outstanding results for owners, investors, associates, and brand partners.
