AURO HOTELS RECENTLY completed a multi-phase renovation of its Residence Inn Buckhead Lenox Park in the Atlanta suburb of Buckhead. The project added a gatehouse and updated the courtyard, guestrooms, lounge, business center and boardroom.

The hotel is in Lenox Park, near walking trails and minutes from Lenox Square, Phipps Plaza and the Buckhead Village District, Auro said in a statement. Attractions such as the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, Truist Park, and Legoland are a short drive away.


The courtyard was rebuilt with landscaping, fire pits, a grill, seating and a sports court, the statement said. Renovations also updated corridors and elevator lobbies. Suites now include workspace, kitchens and living areas for any length of stay.

The hotel has a saltwater pool and fitness center, Auro said.

Greenville, South Carolina–based Auro is led by President and CEO D.J. Rama.

Report: Labor costs tighten U.S. hotel margins

Summary:

  • U.S. hotel margins tighten as demand slows and labor costs remain high, HotStats reported.
  • Unionized hotels carry 43 percent labor costs, versus 33.5 percent at non-union properties.
  • U.S. sees falling group demand and lower profit conversion since the second quarter.

THE U.S. HOTEL industry is showing signs of strain after a strong start to 2025, according to HotStats. Revenue growth is slowing, occupancy is falling and profit margins are tightening, particularly at unionized properties where labor constraints affect performance.

HotStats’ recent blog post revealed that TRevPAR has barely kept pace with labor costs in the first eight months of the year. While TRevPOR remains positive, gains are offset by declining occupancy, a sign that demand is cooling.
