Liberty Hospitality Partners

What Liberty Hospitality Partners does

Liberty Hospitality Partners, LP is a privately held hospitality management and investment company founded in 2001 as a subsidiary of The Liberty Group, headquartered in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The company develops, acquires, and operates a portfolio of 20+ hotel properties across seven US states (Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Missouri) under franchise agreements with three major global hospitality brands: Hilton (Hampton Inn, Hampton Inn & Suites, Homewood Suites, TRU by Hilton, Tapestry Collection), IHG (Holiday Inn Express, Holiday Inn Express & Suites), and Marriott (Fairfield by Marriott, Towneplace Suites), plus a Choice Hotels Econo Lodge and an independent Liberty Lodge property. The portfolio spans select-service and extended-stay segments, with rooms ranging from 63 to 152 keys per property and an aggregate of approximately 1,400+ rooms in operating hotels.

The company's service offering covers the full hotel lifecycle — site research and selection, architectural planning, construction oversight, employee acquisition and training, financial budgeting, and ongoing operations management — delivered by a small corporate team (1-10 employees) under President Richard Born, who has nearly 40 years of hospitality experience and CHA certification. Revenue is generated through hotel operations including room rentals, food and beverage, and event/meeting spaces, distributed through franchisor booking platforms (Hilton.com, IHG.com, Marriott.com) and third-party online travel agencies. The portfolio has earned multiple Hilton Lighthouse, Torchbearer, Circle of Excellence, Wall of Fame, and Award of Excellence awards, plus an IHG Quality Excellence Award placing one property in the top 2% of North American Holiday Inn Express hotels.

Recent strategic direction shows measured expansion into new geographies (Missouri via Tapestry Collection Kansas City; deeper Florida penetration via Naples) and new brand tiers (Marriott extended-stay via Towneplace Suites; upper-midscale/soft-brand via Tapestry Collection), with senior leadership additions in 2024-2025 supporting the buildout. Customer mix is broad and transient — leisure travelers, business travelers, and sports team groups — with no material enterprise concentration. No external funding rounds are disclosed; growth is funded internally by parent The Liberty Group.
