A-1 Hospitality adds Delta Inn's three Oregon hotels

A-1 HOSPITALITY GROUP is working with Delta Inn Hotel Group to add its leadership team and three Portland, Oregon, airport hotels to its portfolio. The deal will expand A-1’s presence in the Greater Portland area to 20 hotels and 645 keys across five states, the companies said in a joint statement.

The hotels include the 150-key Courtyard, 121-key Hilton Garden Inn and the 104-key Fairfield Inn & Suites at Portland Airport.

A-1 Hospitality, a family-owned hotel management and development company based in Kennewick, Washington, is led by President Vijay Patel and Managing Principal Taran Patel. Delta Inn, a family-owned hotel portfolio in Portland, Oregon, is led by CEO Scott Kim.

“As we continue to grow our portfolio, we seek properties with value-add potential and teams that align with our culture and goals,” said Taran Patel. “This partnership enhances A-1’s portfolio and reinforces our commitment to exceptional hospitality. Together, both companies will leverage their strengths and expertise to drive growth and innovation in the hospitality industry.”

The three hotels are located near Northeast Airport Way, the statement said. The Courtyard offers a fitness center and four event rooms with 1,725 square feet of meeting space. The Fairfield Inn & Suites also has a fitness center. The Hilton Garden Inn is pet-friendly and features a fitness center, meeting space and a business center.

Kim said partnering with A-1 Hospitality Group was a natural fit.

“The philosophies and culture of A-1 stood out. We look forward to continued growth alongside A-1,” he said.

In September 2023, Taran Patel was named Lodging Operator of the Year by the Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association for his contributions to the hospitality industry and local communities. A-1 Hospitality, founded in 1997, operates 20 select-service, boutique, and extended-stay hotels across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, New Mexico, and Texas.
