What Hollander Investments, Inc. does

Hollander Hospitality (formerly Hollander Investments, Inc.) is a privately held, family-owned hotel owner-operator founded in Bellingham, Washington in 1970 by Mike Hollander, transitioning from residential and apartment development into hotels with the 1984 opening of the Best Western Heritage Inn. The company owns and operates a seven-property portfolio of approximately 1,210 keys in Washington (Seattle/Everett, Tacoma, Puyallup) and Portland, Oregon, structured as a franchisee of Marriott International (AC Hotels, Delta Hotels, Courtyard, Fairfield), IHG (Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn Express), and Best Western (Best Western Plus).

The operating model is standard select- and full-service hospitality: guest room revenue is supplemented by on-site food and beverage outlets (Venture Kitchen & Bar, The Bistro, catering) and roughly 27,000+ square feet of meeting and event space across the larger properties. Distribution flows through the three parent-brand loyalty programs (Marriott Bonvoy, IHG Rewards, Best Western Rewards), major OTAs, and property-level sales teams managing group and corporate bookings from anchors such as Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Boeing Frederickson, and MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital. The technology stack is conventional property management and hospitality operations technology with no disclosed proprietary platform or AI capabilities.

The company generates revenue through transient room bookings, group and event bookings, food and beverage, and ancillary amenities under three flagged franchise systems. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by property, room type, dates, and availability; group and event pricing is quote-based. The corporate structure remains family-controlled (Founder/Chairman Mike Hollander, President & CEO Mark Hollander), with headquarters in Bellingham and a management team that is heavily promoted from within across an organization of roughly 400 employees in Washington and Oregon.
