Dimension Development Company has successfully been developing, acquiring and managing full-service, all-suite, and focus service hotels. Together with our owning partners we have produced winning combinations in markets throughout the country. Dimension's current management portfolio includes hotels in the Hilton, Holiday, Marriott and Starwood brand families. These hotels include Courtyard by Marriott, Embassy Suites, Fairfield Inn, Sheraton Four Points, Hampton Inns, Hilton, Holiday Inns, Holiday Inns & Suites, Homewood Suites by Hilton, Residence Inn by Marriott and TownePlace Suites by Marriott.
