PEACHTREE HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT will operate the 105-suite SpringHill Suites Dallas Rockwall in Texas. The assignment is part of PHM’s agreement with TEKMAK Development Co., a hospitality development company, to provide third-party management services for a portion of its hotel portfolio.

PHM also has agreed to operate two under-construction hotels in Texas: a dual-branded TownePlace Suites by Marriott and Fairfield by Marriott in Paris and a TownePlace Suites by Marriott in Forney.

"With the economy continuing to power forward, savvy owners insist upon tried-and-true operators to help achieve superior satisfaction scores with guests and associates," said Patrick Short, PHM's president. "Third-party operations remain a key component of our overall growth goals, and our fantastic partnership with TEKMAK allows us to expand our portfolio and market share."

This property is located near Lake Ray Hubbard, Rockwall Technology Park, and Downtown Rockwall Historic Square. It offers amenities such as an outdoor pool, fire pits, and a fitness center.

“At TEKMAK, we pride ourselves on delivering unique products, and achieving high levels of guest satisfaction through superior service that drives premium performance.  We have been impressed with PHM in every step of this transition and are excited to bring their expertise to these properties,” Tom Kirkland, CEO of TEKMAK Development Co.

In March, PHM entered into a contract with TEKMAK Development to provide third-party management services for a segment of its hotel portfolio. Currently, PHM manages 91 hotels across 28 different brands, totaling 11,154 rooms in 22 states.
