Sandpiper Hospitality - a Virginia-based hotel management company that specializes in the extended-stay segment - continues to see strong growth in 2020, enjoying high occupancy levels across its 42 hotels, including the addition of two new South Carolina Candlewood Suites properties last month.

"Our hotels have been performing at occupancy rates well above 80% for months, which is really quite remarkable given the COVID-19 pandemic," said Sandpiper Hospitality President & CEO Jim Darter. "Our extended stay platform has proven itself this year as it has performed at the top of the hospitality spectrum in terms of occupancy and market share. Sandpiper Hospitality is definitely a company that continues to be on the rise - we will be announcing several new third-party management agreements in the next few weeks."

In the past four years, Sandpiper Hospitality has:

  • Grown its portfolio of managed hotels from 17 to 42 opened and managed properties
  • Added more than 3,000 keys across three new brands
  • Grown its staff of service-oriented associates from 120 to nearly 500 associates
  • Expanded its operational reach from six to 12 states and across the entire country

Sandpiper Hospitality is approved by Marriott International, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Choice Hotels and Extended Stay America to manage their select-service and extended stay brands.

"Sandpiper Hospitality is a leader in the lodging industry, particularly in the extended-stay segment, and we are excited to establish a relationship with them following the acquisition of two Candlewood Suites hotels in South Carolina," said Kevin Schramm, Vice President of Development, Mainstream Brands for U.S. & Canada, IHG Hotels & Resorts. "We look forward to more opportunities to grow together as Sandpiper increases its management platform across the country."

In 2021, Sandpiper Hospitality plans to expand into additional market tiers and premium-branded hotels, including new properties in Georgia, North Carolina & Nevada.

Sandpiper has established itself as the recognized leader in extended stay hotel operations in the hotel industry by combining a dedication to delivering genuine hospitality with superior financial returns. The company is working to develop its portfolio through further ground-up developments, selective acquisitions of performing and non-performing properties and third-party management with selected partners.

Guest Service: Exceeding Expectations


When guests check into a hotel, they have expectations of quality customer service. They expect to have their needs met in a professional manner, they desire a certain level of comfort, and possibly even made to feel a little special. This is important because satisfied guests are more likely to return and to become true brand ambassadors. But what if instead of merely meeting expectations, hotels created a culture of service that was intent on exceeding expectations in every conceivable way? What if frontline staff were trained and empowered to provide guest services that demonstrate a willingness to always go the extra mile in order to please their guests? This culture is exactly what some hotels are creating in their operations. From helpful, smiling, welcoming staff to the quality of  a room's comfort and conveniences. From discovering a guest's special needs and enthusiastically fulfilling them, to making some amenities free of charge and offering random upgrades. The April issue of the Hotel Business Review will explore what some hotels are doing to enhance and enrich their guest services.
