We are Commonwealth Hotels — owners, operators, developers, and managers of a wide portfolio of successful, guest-focused hospitality brands. Each property in our family ensures a premium guest experience via our uncompromising vision, exceptional ethics, and dedication to superior service.
We invite you to take a look at who we are, what we do, and how we’re redefining hospitality with every guest we serve.
Our primary underlying goal is to grow asset values. We do this by focusing on three key result areas: driving revenue, controlling costs, and achieving guest and associate satisfaction. Through consistent application of practices that serve these values, Commonwealth has grown a full portfolio of successful hotel properties with strong cash flow and steady growth in asset value.
Property development has been at the core of Commonwealth Hotels’ DNA since the start. While we excel at the redevelopment of existing properties, many of our hotels have been built from the ground up. Our skill set in identifying customers (as well as developing the marketing plans that will attract and retain them) is unparalleled within the hospitality industry.
"Commonwealth Hotels has consistently exceeded our expectations over the years, helping us grow from one hotel to three hotels with several more in development. They are a true partner working hand in hand to help us grow."
"As a commercial developer exploring our first expansion into the hospitality industry, we knew that identifying a full-service, third-party management partner would be critical to the success of our project. We were intent on finding a firm that shared our values. Further, we had a very specific vision of what we wanted and were impressed by Commonwealth’s commitment to supporting us in identifying the right path forward – even though it meant more investment on their part early on in the partnership. They worked closely with our team from concept to development, through construction and, today, oversee our operations. Their commitment to the success of the project is apparent still in their day-to-day approach to guest and associate satisfaction. East Brown Cow continues to seek new opportunities to work with the team at Commonwealth."
Ultimately, while Commonwealth may build, develop, and manage hotels, the basis of our business has always been people. We have a passion for providing superior service for our guests, and this starts with fostering a professional environment for our associates.
To start, Commonwealth offers one of the most comprehensive benefits programs in the industry — benefits like affordable medical insurance, abundant advancement opportunities, and comprehensive retirement planning. We maintain Associate of the Month and Associate of the Year programs, which award recipients with trips for two to anywhere in the continental United States. Social activities like picnics and service award luncheons are regular features on our calendar. Our culture of growth also allows us to offer extremely competitive compensation structures.
Perhaps most importantly, Commonwealth is committed to open communication. Bi-annual evaluations, associate opinion surveys, and an open-door policy are always in place. Here, taking care of our associates means more than providing a paycheck. It means creating and maintaining a positive and professional environment.
"My favorite aspect of working for Commonwealth Hotels is the family culture. We all have a whatever it takes mindset that makes it easy to work with each other. Commonwealth shows its concern for its staff in many ways, including excellent benefits that excel many other companies today."
"I joined Commonwealth Hotels over 10 years ago. Commonwealth values their associates, encourages learning and development, provides great benefits, and has always felt like a family. I am proud to be part of the Commonwealth team."
"Commonwealth Hotels provides their managers excellent tools and guidance to perform their roles and will make you a stronger manager. They have very competitive benefits and pay scale and truly believe in building a great workplace that can be fun too. Best Hotel Management company I have had the pleasure to work for in my 37 years in the hospitality industry."
"I’m so thankful for Commonwealth because I have a job where I love the people I work with!"
"The most important factor of being a part of the Commonwealth family is being a person/family member versus feeling like a number. It’s a breath of fresh air to be a part of a company that is exciting, always forward-thinking, and fast-moving with the market/industry changes. Whatever it Takes!"
