About A-1 Hospitality Group A-1 Hospitality Group is an owner-operator of hotels in the Pacific Northwest, with a portfolio spanning IHG, Marriott, and Hilton brands. As owners, we build, renovate, and operate our properties for the long term — which means construction and purchasing decisions have to serve the guest, satisfy the brand, and make financial sense for the property on day one and for years after.
