LBA Hospitality, Om Sai debut Residence Inn Galveston Island

Residence Inn Galveston Island, a partnership between LBA Hospitality and Om Sai Hospitality, is now open in Galveston Island, Texas. This collaboration extends from LBA’s relationship with Details Hotel Group, co-owners of Om Sai Hospitality, with Atish Gandhi serving as its vice president of operations, LBA said in a statement.

“LBA has done an outstanding job managing properties alongside Details Hotel Group since 2017,” said Gandhi. “Their track record speaks for itself, and it’s why Om Sai Hospitality confidently chose LBA as our go-to management partner for this new Galveston Island hotel. We know they’ll bring their expertise to the table and ensure everything runs smoothly for our guests.”


Residence Inn Galveston Island offers studio and one-bedroom suite accommodations, along with meeting space for up to 70 guests, the statement added. It's conveniently located near UTMB, Shriner’s Hospital, Texas A&M, Galveston College, and the Galveston cruise port.

“Our collaboration with Details Hotel Group has been an exciting journey, expanding our portfolio and cultivating a new and valuable partnership with Om Sai Hospitality,” said Farrah Adams, COO, LBA Hospitality. “At LBA, our commitment to fostering relationships and alleviating owners of operational burdens is at the core of our success. The addition of Residence Inn Galveston, resulting from this collaboration, further highlights the significance of investing in these valuable partnerships.”

Alabama-based LBA operates more than 100 hotels across the U.S.
