Ashford Inc.

Ashford Inc. is an alternative asset management company specializing in real estate and hospitality investments. The firm serves as the advisor to two NYSE-listed real estate investment trusts: Ashford Hospitality Trust, focusing on upper upscale, full-service hotels, and Braemar Hotels & Resorts, targeting luxury hotels and resorts. Combined, these trusts own 78 hotels with over 19,000 rooms and approximately $6.1 billion in gross assets.

In addition to its advisory roles, Ashford Inc. has a Hospitality Products and Services initiative, strategically investing in operating companies that service the industry. This initiative acts as an accelerator to grow these companies through both advised platforms and other third parties. The firm's principals have a long track record of success and many years of experience investing and operating in the hospitality industry.

Ashford Inc. is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and employs over 8,500 professionals globally. The company has a history dating back to 1968, with roots in the hospitality sector, and has developed a vertically integrated platform to manage asset performance and drive investment returns. As of July 2024, Ashford Inc. transitioned to a privately held entity, delisting its shares from the NYSE American to avoid the costs associated with being a public reporting company.
