BELLAMARE DEVELOPMENT SELECTED Valor Hospitality Partners to manage its Mississippi hotel portfolio of eight hotels and 685 rooms across the state. The companies will work together on existing properties and future developments.
The engagement marks Valor’s entry into Mississippi and establishes the company as Bellamare’s operating partner for its full-service and lifestyle hospitality projects, the companies said in a statement. Valor will provide management and operational services as Bellamare expands its hospitality business.
Headquartered in Ridgeland, Mississippi, Bellamare, is a real estate and hospitality company, led by CEO Sunny Sethi and involved in development, investment, property management, construction and related services. Its portfolio includes hospitality projects focused on asset value and communities.
“As Bellamare continues to expand our hospitality portfolio, it is important that we align with an operating partner that shares our vision for growth while bringing the experience and infrastructure to support it at scale,” said Sethi. “Our mission of ‘transforming communities one connection at a time’ shapes not only the projects we pursue, but the relationships we build along the way. We hold ourselves and our partners to the highest standards, and Valor’s global expertise, operational strength and commitment to the guest experience make them a natural fit for where Bellamare is headed. This initial portfolio in Mississippi represents the beginning of a broader relationship, and we look forward to creating exceptional hospitality assets and long-term value together.”
Atlanta-based Valor Hospitality, led by Global Co-Founder and CEO Euan McGlashan, is a global full-service management company with a portfolio of more than 100 hotels across more than countries. The Americas is one of its largest regions, with operations in 12 U.S. states and Trinidad and Tobago.
Dwayne Marshall, Valor’s chief development officer – Americas, said successful hospitality partnerships are built on alignment, trust and a shared vision for long-term asset value.
“Bellamare Development shares our commitment to operational excellence and thoughtful growth, making this a natural partnership. We’re proud to welcome these hotels into the Valor family and look forward to supporting Bellamare’s continued expansion across the Americas.”
The Mississippi portfolio expands Valor’s presence in the Americas as it supports Bellamare’s existing hotels and future developments.
Separately, Stonebridge Cos. will manage the JW Marriott Atlanta Downtown. The 237-key hotel, formerly the W Atlanta Downtown, has transitioned to the JW Marriott brand.
