1859 Historic Hotels Ltd. is more than your ordinary management company.

One key to our success in the hospitality industry is to let the unique character of the property shine through. Through our successful operation of a diverse collection of properties, 1859 Historic Hotels has learned there is no 'cookie cutter' solution to hotel management; instead, the market dictates how a property meets the needs of its guests.

1859 isn't the number of properties owned and managed by the company, nor the year in which 1859 Historic Hotels began business. It is the year one of America's favorite hotels welcomed its first guests in San Antonio, Texas, on the site of a small brewery next to the Alamo. That inn, now The Historic Menger Hotel, is one of the unique properties that benefit from the hands-on ownership and management skills of a company that sees each property as a distinct entity.

1859 Historic Hotels has a definite management philosophy, and this can be discerned when visiting any of the properties owned or managed by the Company. Our valued employees reflect this philosophy, as many of them have been employed by the Company for many years. The philosophy is:

1. To provide the overall satisfaction of the guests, as well as their perception of value.
2. To aggressively work to increase sales volume.
3. Work to control costs at all levels.
4. Committed to improve the bottom line.
