LBA Hospitality has expanded its management portfolio with the addition of two Mississippi properties: the Hilton Garden Inn Biloxi and the Hilton Garden Inn Hattiesburg.
The addition of the Hilton Garden Inn Hattiesburg strengthens LBA Hospitality's presence in the Hattiesburg market, where the company already manages two hotels. The Hilton Garden Inn Biloxi marks LBA's first property in the Biloxi market and expands the company's footprint along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, a region with strong leisure demand and growing tourism investment.
"We're proud to add these properties to our management portfolio," Beau Benton, president of LBA Hospitality, said in a statement. "Hattiesburg continues to be an important market for us, and Biloxi represents a strong opportunity to expand our presence along the Gulf Coast."
"Owners today are focused on maximizing the performance of their assets," said Farrah Adams, COO of LBA Hospitality. "For select-service hotels like Hilton Garden Inn, that often includes strengthening food and beverage programs, building banquet and catering business, and creating menus that reflect the local market rather than a typical hotel restaurant experience. With more than 50 years in the hospitality industry, our team understands how to implement these strategies in ways that drive meaningful results for ownership."
