Waterford Hotel Group Awarded Management
of Two Courtyard by Marriott Properties Portfolio of 29 hotels, including 15 Marriott-brand products
“We are honored to join forces with the Fine family and the entire FFC team in what we believe will be a successful business relationship,” said Robert Winchester, president and COO of Waterford Hotel Group, Inc. “We are looking forward to working with and assisting the staffs of these two Courtyard properties. Our extensive experience with the Courtyard brand makes Waterford the right choice to manage these facilities,” he added. Courtyard by Marriott is widely recognized as the leader in moderate-priced lodging, providing quality accommodations, friendly service, and carefully selected features and amenities to guests worldwide. Courtyard by Marriott was created in the early 1980s after extensive research into the preferences of frequent business travelers. It is known as "The Hotel Designed by Business Travelers" and is preferred by business and leisure travelers alike. The 121-room Courtyard in Orange, CT features meeting facilities, high speed internet access, in-room valet, an outdoor pool, an exercise room, and a whirlpool. The Westborough, MA Courtyard features 98 rooms, meeting space, Courtyard Café, and a cocktail lounge. Guest room amenities include work desk with lamp, 2-line phone, speaker phone, voice mail, data ports, and high-speed internet access. FFC Hospitality, LLC is a division of FFC Capital Corp.,
an investor in a broad array of hotels and other types of real estate
assets across the country. FFC was formed in 1998, but their heritage
as a hospitality industry leader goes back much further. FFC’s
pedigree comes from chairman Milton Fine, who co-founded Interstate
Hotel (IHC) in 1960. He helped build IHC into one of the leading independent
hotel management companies in the world. In 1998, Milt sold IHC to
Wyndam Hotels to start FFC with his son David and a select group of
former IHC managers. In just a few years, FFC has built a solid foundation
of focused investments and strong performance. For more information,
