Overview
Our passion is driving your success
Cornerstone Hospitality, a distinctive hotel management and hospitality consulting company, specializes in creating exceptional and curated experiences for guests and remarkable returns for hotel owners. Driven by a culture of respect, collaboration, a servant leadership style and genuine care for our teams, our value-driven approach sets us apart. Our people are the foundation of our business and the success of our properties prove that our value-method approach works. You don't achieve the highest scores in each brand for Guest Satisfaction by accident. Happy Teams = Happy Guests.
As an approved operator of Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Choice Hotels and others, we ensure that all of our properties lead the market in performance. Whether a full, select or limited service property, we aim to ensure that the hotel asset is maintained and operated at the highest standards to yield a high return to the owner.
Our Foundation Is Our People
We live to serve. Our business is a service business. And, we start with our team – we serve them first! We believe that when we create a team of individuals who feel valued and know that what they do makes a difference the overall property will excel. From the person just entering the world of hospitality to the seasoned veteran, we include all members of our team in the programming of the hotel operation. We believe in them and in turn they believe in themselves. As such, we enjoy lower turnover and a stronger work-family.
We Live By The Golden Rule
A "cornerstone" is the first stone that is set in a foundation. Ours is built on our Christian faith and personal integrity. In all circumstances, we believe we must "treat others as we would want to be treated" whether a guest, team member or development partner. We are selective in our projects and who we choose to work with, prioritizing alignment with our values in how to treat people and do business as well as a shared commitment to excellence. We believe in doing what's right, always, and that drives our decision-making.
Foundations Matter
Founders Kimberly Christner and Craig Larson began Cornerstone Hospitality in 2012 with a goal to create a different kind of management company. It's not all about the quantity of properties under management. It's about the quality of properties and of the people they choose to work with. Not every potential client is the right fit, and that's alright. Their leadership style is collaborative, approachable, transparent, and rooted in servant leadership. Cornerstone Hospitality's principled style of management yields loyal teams, reduced turnover, satisfied guests, strong market performance, healthy profits, and long-standing gratified owners. This approach translates into high-performing guest satisfaction scores, consistent financial performance, and top rankings within the brands.
