Employees and Human Capital

The Company is headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland. As of December 31, 2024, we employed 34 full-time employees and did not have any part-time employees. None of our employees are members of any union. During 2024, all employees involved in the day-to-day operation of our hotels were employed by third-party management companies engaged pursuant to hotel management agreements. The employees of our hotel managers at the Courtyard New York Manhattan/Fifth Avenue, Courtyard New York Manhattan/Midtown East, Hilton Garden Inn New York/Times Square Central, Westin Boston Seaport District and The Dagny Boston are currently represented by labor unions and are subject to collective bargaining agreements. 

We believe prioritizing employee well-being is a key element for attracting and retaining the best and most talented employees. Our key human capital management objectives are to attract, recruit, hire, develop and promote a deep bench of talent that translates into a strong and successful workforce. To support these objectives, our human resources programs are designed to develop talent to prepare them for the critical roles and leadership positions of the future; reward and support employees through competitive pay and benefit programs; enhance our culture that is focused on providing a work environment that is free from any form of discrimination of harassment for any protected class; and evolve and invest in technology, tools, and resources to enable employees at work.
