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. The company operates 42 hotels in 11 states, and is actively working to acquire additional management contracts and acquire and/or develop additional hotel properties.

Dimension is a growth-oriented, hospitality management company maintaining long-term management contracts. Because Dimension's philosophy is geared towards long-tem management of assets, we take a significant interest in all aspects of property performance, product quality and service excellence. Many other hospitality management groups, who do not have long-term affiliation with a particular hotel as their goal, do not share. This philosophy translates into higher levels of guest satisfaction and product quality.
