Think Hospitality

What Think Hospitality does

Think Hospitality is a privately held, vertically integrated hospitality management company headquartered in Miami Beach, Florida, that delivers full-service operations for independently owned hotels, restaurants, and event venues. The company manages a portfolio of 20+ hotel properties totaling more than 2,000 keys, 8 food and beverage venues, and 91 event spaces, organized into four hotel segments — Lifestyle & Luxury, Condo Hotels, Boutique, and Resort & Attractions — alongside a collection of owned and affiliate restaurant brands such as Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill, Serena, and The Upside Rooftop.

The core offering is a bundled service stack that combines hotel and F&B management with modular capabilities spanning revenue management, sales & marketing, finance & accounting, branding & design, and OS&E procurement. The revenue management module uses demand predictability, rate strategy optimization, and OTA ranking improvement to drive RevPAR outperformance; the company describes its underlying approach as data-driven and analytical, though no proprietary AI/ML systems are explicitly disclosed. Think operates event-driven distribution through its Think Events division, supported by integrations with Tripleseat for event booking and channel partnerships with Accor, Small Luxury Hotels of the World, and Preferred Hotels & Resorts.

Think earns revenue primarily through management contracts with independent hotel owners and developers, monetizing both base management services and incentive fees tied to performance, as well as operating F&B outlets within managed properties. Pricing is contract-based and not publicly disclosed. The company targets owners of independent hotels who lack the scale, technology, and professional management capabilities of large chains, positioning Think as a "leveler" that delivers chain-grade operational sophistication to independent assets. Geographically, operations are concentrated in Southeast Florida (Miami Beach, Hollywood Beach, and Wynwood).
