Olympia Hospitality and Virginia Beach-based hotel owner and developer Suburban Capital have teamed up on a new management partnership that brings four new properties into Olympia’s portfolio. Covering Norfolk to Virginia Beach, the properties include the Glass Light Hotel & Gallery, Hyatt Place Virginia Beach Town Center, Hyatt Place Virginia Beach Oceanfront and Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront, adding more than 500 keys to Olympia’s current portfolio.
“We have found a true partner in Suburban Capital and are looking forward to building on the momentum the hotels have earned as preferred hotels in this market, each anchored by topnotch guest experiences and a dynamic destination touch,” Olympia Hospitality President Sara Masterson said in a statement. “These additions mark an important expansion for our growing portfolio as we deepen our expertise and presence in the leisure destination space. We’re looking forward to the summer season ahead.”
“We couldn’t be more excited about our decision to collaborate with Olympia Hospitality. From our very first meeting, we felt a strong sense of connection with their approach to hospitality, associate engagement and company values,” added Suburban Capital President Timothy Stiffler.
