What PME Hospitality LLC does

PME Hospitality LLC is a privately held, family-owned hotel ownership, development, and management company headquartered in Brunswick, Georgia, operating across multiple Georgia markets including Savannah, Brunswick-Golden Isles, Waycross, Hinesville, and Richmond Hill. The company offers three integrated service lines: Hotel Management, Hotel Development, and Hotel Investment, with the current portfolio spanning five operational branded properties (Holiday Inn Savannah S — I-95 Gateway, DoubleTree by Hilton Brunswick, Holiday Inn Brunswick, Holiday Inn Express Brunswick, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Brunswick) plus a pipeline of seven additional properties under development and several previously owned assets. Revenue is generated through management fees on managed properties, ownership returns on owned hotels, and group accommodation bookings, with franchise affiliations across Hilton, IHG, Marriott, and Wyndham providing distribution and loyalty infrastructure.

The company employs 5 corporate staff and uses a direct, relationship-based sales motion targeting property owners and developers seeking professional hotel management and investment partnerships, alongside a corporate group booking channel for event and team travel. There is no proprietary technology platform; the business is operationally a traditional hospitality operator with a corporate website and contact form for group bookings. Leadership is multi-generational: founder Parimal "Peter" Patel (CEO) is supported by second-generation family members Preyen Patel (COO) and Milan Patel (CFO), with Janki Patel as Controller and Director of Human Resources and Deborah Exum as VP of Operations. Founded in 1990 and now approaching four decades of operation, the company has no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or institutional ownership, and is entirely privately held by the Patel family.

Broad incumbents

• Marriott International: Global hospitality franchisor and incumbent owner of brands including Fairfield Inn & Suites, which PME Hospitality operates under franchise.

• InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG): Global hospitality franchisor owning Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Country Inn & Suites brands operated by PME Hospitality. Comparable as the broad incumbent defining franchise economics and IHG Rewards loyalty integration across multiple PME properties.

Comparable as the incumbent that defines franchise economics, loyalty (Hilton Honors) integration, and brand standards for a large portion of PME's portfolio.
• Wyndham Hotels & Resorts: Global hospitality franchisor owning Days Inn, La Quinta, and Comfort Suites brands previously or currently operated by PME Hospitality. Comparable as the broad incumbent in the economy/midscale tiers relevant to PME's historical portfolio.
