ALPHARETTA, Ga.– October 22, 2019 — Atrium Hospitality has assumed the management of three U.S. hotels from Winegardner & Hammons Hotel Group, an affiliate of the Pyramid Hotel Group. Comprising a combined 612 keys, the properties, located in Kentucky and Ohio, represent the well-known brands of Marriott, Embassy Suites by Hilton, and Holiday Inn. Since 2014, Atrium Hospitality has been one of the fastest-growing hotel management companies in the United States and is currently ranked as the sixth-largest management company (ranked by gross annual revenue end of 2018) by Hotel Business® (April 21, 2019 issue).
Atrium’s management acquisition of the three properties continues the company’s rapid expansion and increases its portfolio of assets under management to 84 hotels and 20,897 guest rooms/suites in 28 states. The company controls more than 3 million square feet of flexible event space and adds almost 30,000 square feet of meeting space associated with the management opportunities. The transition is effective immediately and is anticipated to be seamless to the thousands of guests that frequent the three full-service hotels.
“We are focused on expanding the Atrium Hospitality management portfolio with the right strategic opportunities,” said Atrium Hospitality President Daniel Abernethy. “We welcome our newest associates to the Atrium family with the addition of three branded hotels in Ohio and Kentucky, which are ideally situated near a mix of demand generators of business, education, entertainment and retail.”

We are investing in shaping the hospitality industry’s talent of today and tomorrow as we add more hotels and career advancement opportunities for our nearly 10,000 associates. We are encouraging a culture of perseverance, respect, service and teamwork.”
