Hallmark Inns & Resorts

What Hallmark Inns & Resorts does

Hallmark Inns & Resorts is a privately held, employee-owned (since 2016, via ESOP) Oregon Coast hospitality company founded in 1948 by Bill and Georgie Hay in Cannon Beach, Oregon. The company operates a six-property collection across two Oregon Coast destinations: Hallmark Resort & Spa Cannon Beach, Pacific Suites by Hallmark, Elements By the Sea Spa (Cannon Beach), Hallmark Resort Newport, The Allred (a boutique oceanfront retreat added in 2024-2025), and Pacific Kitchen (opened 2019), together with the long-standing Georgie's Restaurant in Newport. The portfolio is unified under the Hallmark Collection brand and is positioned around oceanfront locations, Pacific Northwest hospitality, and pet-friendly amenities.

The company makes money through three primary revenue streams: overnight accommodations across its resort, suite, and boutique-hotel properties; on-site dining at Georgie's and Pacific Kitchen; and spa services at Elements By the Sea. It also sells gift cards valid across the entire collection. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the corporate website and individual property microsites, supplemented by Tripadvisor presence, email newsletter marketing, and walk-in reservations. There is no proprietary technology disclosed; bookings and revenue management rely on standard hospitality tooling, and the company is explicitly described as a traditional lodging operator with no AI, API, or SDK surface.

The target customer is the leisure traveler and family seeking a coastal Oregon getaway, with secondary segments in dining enthusiasts and wellness seekers. Hallmark is led by Ric Rabourn (President & CEO since 2018, 20+ year tenure) and CFO Jenifer Rabourn, alongside a recently professionalized leadership team that includes a Director of Operations and Revenue Manager with prior corporate experience at Hilton and Wyndham. The corporate office, employing 11-50 people, is based in Lake Oswego, Oregon, and the company is not publicly listed.
