Hotelex Group

What Hotelex Group does

Hotelex Group, LLC is a Florida-based, privately held hotel development, construction management, and operating company founded in 2014 and headquartered at 2500 NW 107 Avenue in Miami. The firm carries out every stage of hotel delivery — site due diligence, feasibility analysis, site value enhancement, construction management, and ongoing hotel operations — for both company-owned assets and third-party owners. Its operating portfolio comprises four properties, all in South Florida and all operating under major global brands: a 165-room TownePlace Suites by Marriott (completed June 2016), a dual-branded 206-room Residence Inn by Marriott in Brickell (opened March 2017), a 133-room Hilton-branded Design District Midtown hotel with attached retail and boutique office space (planned 2020-2021), and a Hilton Home2 Suites property in development near Seminole Hard Rock Casino.

The company's go-to-market combines two interlocking revenue streams: (1) a fee-based development, construction-management, and hotel-operations service for company-owned and third-party hotel assets under Marriott and Hilton brand affiliations, and (2) an accredited-investor co-investment program that takes positions in cash-flowing hotel assets at the firm's cost basis, with a US$100,000 minimum, minimum 8% quarterly cash dividends, average ~10% cash-on-cash annual returns, and targeted IRRs above 15%. Hotelex Group serves two primary customer segments — accredited investors seeking yield-bearing, asset-backed real estate exposure and hotel property owners seeking integrated development-to-operations management — and reports approximately $80 million in assets, 4 hotels in operation or development, and around 80 employees providing hospitality management services. There is no disclosed use of AI/ML, no disclosed funding history, no disclosed revenue figure, and no institutional or private-equity ownership in the available source material.
