70 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE JUNE 2020 homage to his mentor in the hotel business – Christopher Cargen. “Chris has mastered the art of being a professional hotelier. He has taught me that details matter, and you have to have backup for your gut feelings… he has always had science behind his decisions. The reason he has built Hospitality America so successfully is that, as a leader, he is one of the most compassionate people you’ll meet. If the managers and the assets and the employees are doing well and are recognized, that’s his reward. As a management company, your motto to your ownership group has to be to protect and increase the value of the asset every day. Looking ahead, we will continue to build the company on word of mouth and all the results of hard work; not smoke and mirrors.” Indeed, with Cargen and Berger at the helm – the voice of experience and the eager and intelligent pupil – Hospitality America is poised to thrive and excel in the years ahead.
