American Liberty Hospitality Revenue and Competitors

American Liberty Hospitality was founded in 1970 as a division of the highly respected American Liberty Oil Company of Dallas, Texas with the specific objective of operating its wholly owned hotels. In 1983, it was separately incorporated, and it began transferring its success in operating its own portfolio of properties to the benefit of a growing list of asset managers and other owners. Although the industry has improved dramatically since those days, American Liberty's function is essentially the same as it was then: to provide owners and asset managers with the highest caliber hotel management services, creating and enhancing their investments, while relieving them from the stress of daily operations. In addition, it has evolved into a progressive real estate investment company with a track record of locating hotel investment opportunities, applying strenuous due diligence efforts, and then implementing sound marketing and management strategies to the benefit of its investors. American Liberty's founding company, owned by the Toddie Lee Wynne family interests, had been in the hotel business as developers and operators since the 1960s. Its diversified portfolio included international hotel developments in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malta, and Africa with Hilton International and Hyatt Hotels. Domestically, its hotel projects included major downtown mixed-use retail/office/hotel developments, coastal Texas resorts, and suburban franchised full service hotels in major markets in Texas and Louisiana. Since ALH was formed, it has launched a chain of upscale limited service properties in secondary and tertiary markets, led the redevelopment and ongoing management of an 800 room convention hotel complex, and provided management services to lending institutions, life insurance companies, governmental agencies, and numerous private investors seeking operational expertise. Currently its portfolio is expanding to include a lakefront golf and conference center resort complex where ALH functions as majority owner, developer, and operator in a public/private venture. ALH enjoys a seasoned perspective on the relative value of potential chain affiliations such as Bass Hotels and Resorts (Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express), Best Western International, Choice Hotels, Sheraton, Hilton, Cendant's Days Inn, Ramada, and Super 8 brands, and Country Hearth Inns, having had ownership/franchisor relationships with these and others over the last two decades. The company now has an extensive portfolio of operating properties in markets throughout the Southwest.
