"Increased construction of our new hotels in the pipeline and demand for services in key urban centers fueled the planning of the new LA location," cites Ben Seidel, CEO of Real Hospitality Group.  "We spent the latter half of 2014 preparing for the increase in the portfolio, and expanded relationships with new asset managers and owners that make Los Angeles the natural next step to provide coverage for the growth in the US."
