Mission Statement
Our mission is to be the first marketing group that independent, progressive Irish hotels think of. Where our members add value to the brand and to each other and as the owners we are continually developing new ideas and new ways to make profit.
Brand philosophy
Our brand philosophy is to provide the customer with unique independent Irish hotels with emphasis on quality and service. Our team of dedicated professionals ensures that the service provided by head office is compatible with the image we perpetuate as it is through this partnership and shared vision we see the successful development of the brand.
Select Hotels has a unique position in the market place given its structure as a marketing group, promoting strong individual brands. Our strategy is to market these individual Hotel brands to the domestic and international market, the leisure and corporate market, communicating the benefits of using independent hotels, with the added service Select Hotels provides.
