Roswell / Georgia / United States
Dellisart is owned by Douglas E. Artusio, a 35 year veteran of the lodging industry. Mr. Artusios background, while substantial in the areas of development and finance, is, unlike many hotel developers, deeply rooted in direct hotel level operational experience. This unique background and experience aids him to view each and every project from a variety of different perspectives, as well as to appreciate the needs of the various interests of each vested party; investors, owners, lenders, and managers.Mr. Artusio launched Dellisart Lodging, in March of 2001, when he began work on the development of two Staybridge Suites by Holiday Inn hotels in Glenview and Lincolnshire, both northern suburbs of Chicago, IL. While somewhat certainly aggressive, Mr. Artusios initial objective was to be the first developer ever to start development of, construction on, and subsequently open two hotels, in the same city, on the same day. Mr. Artusio met that objective on May 30th, 2003 when both his hotels not only opened, but did so by receiving the two highest opening inspection scores ever awarded a Staybridge Suites by the InterContinental Hotels Group, including a perfect 100 score at his Lincolnshire hotel. With Dellisarts continued, aggressive expansion of its portfolio both nationally and internationally, Mr. Artusio has assembled an impressive team of executives with a combined 80+ years of experience in hotel ownership, management, development, and acquisitions. As such, the Dellisart team is actively marketing and in discussions to provide their management services and support to third party developers and owners of such brands as Wingate Inns, Amerihost Inns, and Hampton Inns & Suites. Not only can the company provide the wealth of knowledge and experience that is required to successfully assist others in efficiently and effectively managing and growing their businesses, but, because of the significant time and energy that was initially invested in creating the infrastructure to support their own hotels, Dellisart can also offer owners a complete litany of tools and resources as well. From Performa modeling, HR functions such as payroll & benefits, and financial functions such as operational budgeting and accounting.
