In 1998, hotel veteran Charles Lagarce acted on his entrepreneurial instinct to create an
innovative hotel management company called Columbus Hospitality. After its initial success,
the company diversified and expanded its services to include all brands of hospitality–
restaurants, athletic clubs, corporate housing and country clubs.
These businesses are unlike any other asset or business. Each property's success is dependent upon the entire team working hard to satisfy guests and members. We recognize the connection between the way we treat our team members and the way they, in turn, treat guests and members. We're skilled at developing motivated teams, and that leads to a loyal customer base, ultimately providing a profitable and sustainable business.
