RFR Hotel Group

In 2010, RFR formed the RFR Hotel Group as the company was emerging into an award-winning global hotelier.

RFR won the 2010 “Best Hospitality Project Worldwide” award from the Developers and Builders Alliance for its prestigious 408-room oceanfront W South Beach Hotel in Miami. Weeks later, the firm’s 117-key art-themed Roomers property in Frankfurt, Germany won a major German hospitality design award. At the end of 2010, RFR became sole proprietor and owner/operator of the renowned, 185-room Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City. The property is undergoing several enhancements with the goal of becoming a unique global destination hotel where art, fine cuisine and top-notch guest service converge with the contemporary flair of a chic, ultra-luxury hotel property.

With a vision for personal service and capital investment, RFR sees great global growth opportunity in the hospitality sector and is engaged in several additional hotel development projects at this time. RFR sees a prime opportunity to acquire highly desirable hotel properties in financial distress and then reinvigorate them with capital improvement projects, superior staff training, world-class cuisine, noteworthy art installations and customized services that attract a more discriminating clientele.
