History

I t was 1957 when Edgar Sims, Jr. opened the 12-room Royal Pine Motel in College Park, Maryland.

          His vision: provide guests with outstanding service in an extraordinarily maintained property. 

          As Sims' family grew, so did his vision. Well-managed expansion, opportunities for employees and community involvement were the cornerstones of his business strategy. Those cornerstones remain today.

          Business cycles and inclusion of family drove progress, as MHI acquired new hotels and executed management contracts, repositioning distressed properties for sale. Expanding on their parents' vast knowledge and experience, Sims' sons, who grew up in the business, delved into the renovation and operation of a range of properties - from limited to full-service, from budget to luxury accommodations - all leading to increased profitability.

          Today, the MHI family has grown to a highly-dedicated corporate staff with more than 120 years of professional commitment to the Hotel industry, and more than 1,500 employees around the United States. Each member of our team shares Edgar Sims' philosophy of hospitality.

          Hospitality - a warm and sincere welcome - remains MHI's guiding principle. It is what drives our relationships with employees, what convinces guests to come back, and what delivers results to investors.  

We welcome the opportunity to show you how MHI can help you achieve the rewards and results you demand and deserve.
