Hotel investment and third-party management for institutional assets
HEI Hotels & Resorts operates a large-scale hotel management platform serving institutional investors across urban, suburban, and resort locations. The tech stack is operations-heavy—Revinate, Medallia, LightSpeed POS, Workday, and Cvent dominate—reflecting a company built on guest experience, revenue optimization, and operational efficiency rather than software development. Hiring skews heavily toward ops (80% of active roles), with junior-level staff filling the bulk of positions, indicating either high turnover in hospitality roles or rapid unit expansion.
Notable leadership hires: Finance Director, Sales Director, Marketing Director, Director of Sales, Restaurant Director
HEI Hotels & Resorts is a privately held hotel investment and management company founded in 1985, headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, with over 10,000 employees. The firm manages institutional hotel assets and operates across urban, super-suburban, and resort markets, focusing on profitable performance while building what they describe as a culture-driven organization. Their operating footprint spans the United States, United Kingdom, India, and New Zealand. Current initiatives center on preventative maintenance, energy efficiency, labor-cost control, guest satisfaction, and revenue management—common pain points for multi-unit operators managing compliance, food waste, and repeat bookings.
Revinate (guest experience), Medallia (feedback), LightSpeed POS, Workday (HR), Cvent (event management), and Microsoft Office suite are core to operations. Also uses CCTV, PagerDuty, and Zoom for monitoring and collaboration.
