What Newport Hospitality Group, Inc does

Newport Hospitality Group, Inc. is a privately held, Williamsburg, Virginia-based third-party hotel management company founded in 1991. It manages a portfolio of 37 hotels totaling 3,651 rooms across 12 states, concentrated in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, under franchise relationships with seven major brand families (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, Choice, Wyndham, IHG, and Best Western) plus independent properties. The company delivers three integrated service lines: Hotel Operations (hands-on management of branded and independent properties), Commercial Strategy (revenue management, digital marketing, and local sales), and Hotel Development (concept through pre-opening advisory), unified by its "Living Hospitality" philosophy and a documented Operational Playbook.

The company does not develop proprietary technology but operates on a curated stack of industry-standard platforms: Amadeus, Kalibri, and Lighthouse for revenue management and market intelligence; Quore for hotel operations; Canary Technologies for guest-facing technology and automation; Hireology for talent management; and ADP Workforce Now for HR and payroll. Procurement leverage is delivered through HSM and Avendra partnerships.

NHG earns revenue through negotiated management fees on third-party hotel management contracts with hotel owners, institutional investors, and REITs (most prominently Apple Hospitality REIT). The go-to-market motion is sales-led, anchored by the VP & Chief Development Officer Shawn Wallick, and is supported by a 19-year track record of +2.9% RevPAR Index outperformance versus competitive sets, an 8-year average management contract length, and 7 multi-asset owner relationships. The company is privately owned, founder/management-controlled, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or external funding rounds.
