The Sol Group

What The Sol Group does

The Sol Group Corporation (TSGC) is a privately held Florida-incorporated hospitality management company founded in 1988 and headquartered at 800 Brickell Ave., Suite 601, Miami, Florida, with a regional office at 132 West 27th Street, New York. The firm employs between 101 and 250 people and operates as a B2B operator serving hotel property owners throughout the Americas.

The company's core offering is full-spectrum hotel and resort management services delivered under a single point-of-contact model, covering asset planning and design, construction oversight, brand development and marketing, social media and eCommerce, communications and PR, sales and customer service, finance and revenue management, vendor and supply management, food and beverage, spa operations, staffing and HR, and legal and compliance. Underlying technology is operational expertise rather than a proprietary software platform; the company does not expose APIs, mobile applications, or AI capabilities based on the available data.

Revenue is generated through management fees charged to hotel property owners (managed-services model), and the company has built its portfolio almost entirely through long-standing strategic partnerships with Meliá Hotels International brands — Gran Meliá, Paradisus by Meliá, ME by Meliá, INNSiDE by Meliá, TRYP by Melia, Sol by Meliá, Meliá Hotels & Resorts, and ZEL Hotels. The portfolio is described as "hundreds of properties" globally, with the Sol by Meliá brand alone encompassing 65+ resorts across the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, Cabo Verde, Caribbean, and Southeast Asia. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with direct outreach to hotel property owners and brand-partner referrals as the primary channels.

• Interstate Hotels & Resorts: US-based third-party hotel management company operating premium branded and independent hotels globally. Comparable to Sol as a management-fee operator serving branded owners across multiple brand families.
• Remington Hospitality: Dallas-based hotel management and services company operating branded and independent full-service hotels. Comparable operator with similar full-service management capabilities.

• Highgate Hotels: One of the largest US-based third-party hotel management, investment, and development firms, operating hundreds of properties across luxury, full-service, lifestyle, and resort segments — directly comparable to The Sol Group's full-service management model for institutional and brand-flagged owners.
• Pyramid Hotel Group: Boston-based hotel management company operating branded and independent full-service hotels across the US. Comparable third-party operator model with similar portfolio breadth.
• Crescent Hotels & Resorts: Fairfax, VA-based third-party hotel management firm managing premium branded and independent hotels across North America. Closely comparable in size, service scope, and owner relationships.

Broad incumbents

• Marriott International (Third-Party Management Division): Global hospitality major with a substantial third-party management arm. Relevant as a broad incumbent whose management services compete for the same owner relationships Sol targets, particularly for premium and luxury flags.
• Meliá Hotels International: Parent Spanish hotel company of all eight brand partnerships The Sol Group manages. While Meliá is the brand owner rather than manager, it is the most strategically relevant party — understanding Meliá's Americas strategy is essential to assessing Sol's forward outlook.
