What Yedla Hotels does

Yedla Management Company, doing business as Yedla Hotels, is a privately held third-party hotel management firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama. The company provides full-service hospitality management for hotel property owners and investors, covering operations, sales and marketing, human resources and recruiting, engineering, and accounting, with additional short-term consulting services for site selection, design, and construction. As of 2026, YMC operates 29 select-service properties across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southwest United States under franchise brands from Marriott, Hilton, IHG, and Hyatt, and also manages a luxury RV resort. The portfolio spans premium, upscale, upper-midscale, and extended-stay tiers (Westin, Hyatt House, Courtyard, AC Hotels, Fairfield, Residence Inn, Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites, Hampton Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, DoubleTree, TownPlace Suites, SpringHill Suites, Holiday Inn Express, and Tropic Hideaway).

The company is family-controlled by the Yedla family, led by President & CEO Srinath R. Yedla (who also co-founded Doradus Partners, a real estate development firm that develops hotels subsequently managed by YMC) and COO Satya N. Yedla. Revenue is generated primarily through management fees — structured as a percentage of hotel revenue and/or fixed management fees — under multi-year contracts with third-party property owners. YMC does not operate a proprietary technology platform; it relies on brand-standard property management systems supplied by its franchisor partners. Distribution of room nights occurs through the franchisors' global reservation platforms (Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, IHG, Hyatt) and OTAs.
