What Khanna Enterprises does

Khanna Enterprises is a family-owned hotel ownership and management company founded in 1989 and headquartered at 2601 Main Street, Suite 680, Irvine, California. The company operates a portfolio of eight branded, full-service hotels across California under franchise agreements with Marriott International (Westin, Sheraton, Four Points by Sheraton, Delta Hotels), Hilton (Doubletree, Hilton), and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (Wyndham). Properties span San Diego (two hotels), San Jose (two hotels), Garden Grove/Anaheim, Sacramento, Agoura Hills, and Long Beach, serving business travelers, leisure tourists, and meeting/event planners. Revenue is generated from nightly room rentals, food and beverage operations, event and meeting space, and ancillary guest services, with room rates determined by property-level revenue management in coordination with franchise brand specialists.

The company's underlying operating platform is conventional for a multi-brand franchisee: centralized corporate functions covering Operations Management, Sales & Marketing, Revenue Management, and Accounting, supported by unspecified proprietary internal tools and control measures for profitability tracking, productivity monitoring, and management accountability. Distribution is routed through brand reservation systems, loyalty programs (Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, Wyndham Rewards), property websites, and third-party online travel agencies. The company also describes a real estate investment strategy of acquiring underperforming or distressed hotel assets at significant discounts, renovating them, and operating them under major brand flags — exemplified by the February 2026 acquisition of the 469-room Westin Long Beach for approximately $42 million (less than half its prior 2017 purchase price) with a $25 million property improvement plan.

The senior leadership team of roughly 17 corporate staff is dominated by the Khanna family (Ravi Khanna as CEO, Rajesh Khanna as CFO, Ashwin Khanna as COO, plus family members in financial and operations support roles), supplemented by hospitality veterans with deep brand-side experience. The business remains privately held, founder-controlled, and bootstrapped with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or public listing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, revenue is not reported, and there is no evidence of AI/ML capabilities or proprietary technology platforms beyond the company's internal management and control tools.
