Letter from our President
Justin Jabara
Introducing our President
As Meyer Jabara Hotels approaches an extraordinary milestone — 50 Years in Hospitality in 2027 — we are both proud of our legacy and energized by our future.
Founded in 1977 on the belief that hospitality is fundamentally about people, Meyer Jabara Hotels has spent nearly five decades building relationships, creating opportunities, and delivering meaningful results for our owners, associates, and guests. While our portfolio, capabilities, and geographic reach have grown significantly over the years, our purpose has remained remarkably consistent: take care of people, and success will follow.
Today, we are entering one of the most exciting periods in our company’s history.
Meyer Jabara Hotels continues to grow strategically and organically, expanding our footprint into new markets, strengthening relationships with ownership groups, and welcoming outstanding talent into our organization. Recent growth initiatives, including the expansion of our western-region portfolio and new strategic partnerships, have positioned us for continued momentum well into the future.
At the same time, we are making substantial investments in technology and infrastructure to ensure our hotels remain competitive in a rapidly evolving hospitality landscape. From advanced operational systems and cybersecurity enhancements to AI-powered tools that improve decision-making, sales productivity, and the guest experience, we are embracing innovation in ways that create real value for our hotels and our stakeholders.
Technology, however, will never replace what matters most — people.
One of the accomplishments I am most proud of is the strength of our culture. At Meyer Jabara Hotels, we believe empowered associates create exceptional guest experiences. Through our Journey culture and leadership principles, we have built an organization where associates are encouraged to lead, innovate, and make meaningful decisions that positively impact our guests and one another.
That commitment to people continues to produce extraordinary results. In an industry often challenged by turnover, our company has consistently maintained remarkably strong retention levels because we invest deeply in our teams, their development, and their success. The passion and dedication of our associates remain the driving force behind everything we achieve.
As we prepare to celebrate our 50th anniversary, we are not simply reflecting on where we have been; we are focused on where we are going.
The hospitality industry is evolving quickly, and Meyer Jabara Hotels is evolving with it. We are building a stronger, smarter, and more scalable organization while staying true to the values that have defined us for nearly five decades: integrity, accountability, innovation, and service.
The future has never looked brighter.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Meyer Jabara Hotels. Whether you are an owner, investor, brand partner, associate, or guest, we appreciate the trust you place in our company. We look forward to continuing this journey together as we enter our next great chapter — 50 Years in Hospitality and beyond.
Sincerely,
Justin Jabara
