AN INSPIRED VISION__________________
The essence of Fingerprint Hospitality is a belief that every hotel has its own sense of place and relationship with its community. Fingerprint believes in maximizing those intrinsic values in both branded and independent hotels. We bring old world hospitality values of comfort and service together with a team of out of the box artists and designers that will allow Fingerprint to navigate your hotel through the dynamic forces of change confronting our industry.
WHY FINGERPRINT?__________________

OPERATING STRATEGIES______________________
Dedication
Fingerprint will only take on assignments where there is a value add opportunity - each and every project will engender the focus of the team.
Asset Class
While limited service hotels clearly serve a viable purpose, Fingerprint is mainly focused on urban, full-service properties.
Be Unique
Originality and differentiation are key in a rapidly changing environment where demographic trends are impacting product and service expectations.
New Rules
In today's market lobbies are bars, bars are meeting space and meeting rooms are art galleries - the goal is impacting the guest experience and, in turn, overall property revenues by maximizing the use of all available square footage.

Our team can complete a broad brush of acquisition services including:
- Feasibility and valuation services
- Capex and re-positioning strategies
- Operating leverage review
- Re-use of existing physical conditions to create increased revenue
- Operator and franchise term sheet evaluation and negotiation

ASSET ADVISORY SERVICES

OPERATING PARTNER
We believe the optimal execution is working with ownership from the beginning of the transaction cycle to determine the business strategy, and then working with the management team to ensure the execution of that plan. Working in tandem with equity partners, Fingerprint will continue the extensive track record of creating and enhancing hotel asset values.
