Development Services Division
The development services division of Good Hospitality Services is specialized in working with you, the hotel owner, to ensure a timely and cost-effective hotel project. Because of our comprehensive knowledge of the hotel industry, we know what you need as an owner to maximize your investment. Our extensive experience – over 30 years in hotel construction, development, and management – affords us the knowledge and expertise necessary to build a hotel – not just a commercial property.
GHS professionals serve in the critical role of liaison between the owner and all parties involved in the project. The liaison insulates the owner from unnecessary headaches while ensuring budgets and timelines are met and plans are delivered with exacting consistency.
Set your project up for success, and contact GHS before beginning your next project.
