Pinnacle Hotel Management was founded in 1997 by Ron Franklin and Dick Vilardo to develop and manage Marriott and Hilton branded hotels. Their first project, the 123-room Courtyard Orlando East/UCF opened in June of 1997. Since that time they have developed or purchased 37 additional hotels. Pinnacle's largest project to date is the Orlando Marriott Lake Mary, a 304-room, full service hotel. The company manages its own hotels, as well as those owned by other companies. Pinnacle has completed 30 ground up hotel development projects in markets such as Washington, D.C., Florida, New England and California. Pinnacle has also successfully completed several brand conversion projects including the Courtyard Alexandria, Virgina, the Fairfield Inn and Suites Palm Beach, Florida Courtyard Key West, the Boston Courtyard Billerica/Bedford, Massachesetts and most recently the Courtyard Philadelphia. Our latest project, the Residence Inn Orlando Downtown was completed in the summer of 2015. The Pinnacle Hotel Management portfolio includes over 4,000 rooms and annual sales of $150 million.
