Magna Hospitality

What Magna Hospitality does

Magna Hospitality Group is a privately held, vertically integrated third-party hotel management company founded in 1998. The firm manages more than 19,300 guest rooms across the United States and is approved to operate all major hotel brands across lifestyle (Moxy, Autograph, Curio, Le Méridien, Canopy, etc.), full-service (Marriott, Hilton, Westin, Sheraton, Hyatt Regency, etc.), and select-service (Courtyard, Residence Inn, Hyatt Place, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn, etc.) tiers. The company also operates an investment fund that acquires, manages, and divests hotel properties, as evidenced by the $489.8 million sale of a four-hotel New York City portfolio in late 2025.

Magna generates revenue through two streams: (1) management fees from third-party hotel management contracts covering operations, revenue strategy, sales and marketing, financial oversight, and asset optimization for hotel owners, and (2) investment returns from its owned hotel portfolio. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales led by Chief Development Officer Jeff Baltzer, targeting hotel property owners and institutional investors through direct outreach, partner inquiry forms, and industry referrals. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per contract; no public pricing tiers exist.

The technology stack consists of industry-standard property management systems and revenue management platforms, supplemented by business intelligence reporting, dynamic pricing tools, distribution channel management across OTAs and GDS, and property technology consulting. The firm employs 150+ corporate professionals supporting nationwide operations, with a leadership team including CEO Chris Morosetti, COO Jim Briggs, CAO Kathryn Dowd, CFO Jon MacIntyre (joined April 2025), and General Counsel Gabrielle Siegel.
