Bridge Hotel Group

About Bridge Hotel Group.

What We Believe

We Are Hotel Managers That Think Like Owners

Bridge evolved from a private real estate fund focused on value creation and harvesting capital. As a result of Bridge’s heritage, the Ownership mindset is in our DNA. We do not make decisions, provide guidance, or suggest recommendations unless the result of such action will have a net positive impact on value for our ownership. We prefer a collaborative approach with ownership and encourage healthy debate while seeking to achieve lofty goals. For us, the business of creating value is the reason we come to work.

What We Do

Bridge Hotel Group is a hotel management company focused exclusively on Greater New York City hospitality. We believe dedicated efforts on every aspect of a market are the only way to ultimately succeed in our evolving lodging space. Our TEAM of 25 professionals covers every major hotel discipline from our midtown corporate office. This allows our corporate team to converse in real time face-to-face conversations with our property level managers.

How We Do It

Bridge Hotel Group follows a balanced scorecard approach to operating great hotels. The pillars of our balanced scorecard are Culture, Guest Service, Revenue Management and Sales, and Profitability. By achieving success in all aspects of the balanced scorecard, we exceed expectations set by our ownership groups. We operate under the following maxim: What get measured gets done. Our corporate and property level Team leaders hold themselves accountable for balanced scorecard results, which get measured on a daily basis. We focus on leading operating metrics that drive results. It is this accountability to producing results that sets Bridge Hotel Group apart from other hotel management companies. In effect, it is the “bridge” that creates full alignment between management and ownership.
