Quick coverage of who we are and what we are about here at LHG
BHARAT PATEL
CHAIRMAN
Bharat Patel is a visionary hotelier a career spanning nearly four decades. His extraordinary journey includes hotel development, ownership and management of multiple Brands and properties (70+ Assets, Economy to Luxury) in various markets throughout the country. True testament to his vision and established industry legacy is the fact that he is the Founder of TripAdvisor's number one Romantic Hotel in the country (2016, 2017)--Belemere Suites, Perrysburg, Ohio. Bharat continues to expand his work as travel and travelers change. Privé Suites is his newest creation for today's modern traveler with specialized needs and desires.
KUNAL PATEL
President
Kunal is the son of the Chairman, Bharat Patel. He studied Chemical Engineering (at FSU/FAMU College of Engineering), before departing to begin his secular career with Carbonyx Inc, where he worked for four (4) years, starting in operations and progressing to Plant Manager (Operations oversignt of $100MM). After leaving Carbonyx, Kunal picked up the entrepreneur torch and started Hotelligent Inc, a startup aimed at decreasing inefficiencies at hotels through technology. Kunal led the charge of Hotelligent’s software development and implementation. As a result of creating a successful product, clients increased in a short span of time. The newly-formed company became so successful that it began to gain the attention of other established tech firms. Consequently, Kunal formed a JV with a publicly-traded company to bring low cost telephony to hotels. Again, Kunal oversaw the development of the new project from product design to implementation. After four (4) years, he exited the company and joined forces with his father with the expressed purpose and plan to create his own mark in Hospitality. He has done just that with his skills of extraordinary accuracy for detail, progressive marketing strategies and proven operating techniques. These factors are brilliantly evident in the Company's current portfolio (Top/Bottom Line & Guest Satisfaction). It is the mission of this son to continue the heritage of the Founder and his Father. Kunal's goal is to navigate Privé to peak potential: Performance Excellence in each market the Brand is built. It is only fitting that he sits as president.
