Formerly managing hotels strictly for its own account, SHM began managing selected hotels for financial institutions and private investor groups in early 1986.  Operating limited service, mid-scale, and resort properties, the company manages its diverse operating portfolio with a richly talented staff of hotel professionals.

In 1995, SHM, as a General Partner, began developing Hampton Inn hotels for its various partnership groups, while at the same time providing pre-development, site selection, and turnkey development of limited service hotels for REITS (Real Estate Investment Trusts). The Company continues to pursue development opportunities for key brands of hotels for its own partnerships as well as for other groups.

With overbuilding, product segmentation and escalating costs, the hotel industry has become acutely more complex and competitive. To operate successfully under these market conditions requires a management company of proven “hands-on” professionals. The hotel business today is no place for a novice.

Our Mission

Adding value is what Southwest Hotel Management is all about. Every hotel is a business which represents a unique challenge, and there is no one set of rules that applies to all hotels. Rather, it is the intuition of the experienced professional which leads the way in conceptualizing the role a given hotel should play in its marketplace. This intuition is based on years of achieving positive results through trial and error in a wide variety of situations.

Ray Hankamer, Jr. is General Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer for Southwest Hotel Management. Beginning his career as General Manager of the Holiday Inn Houston-Nasa, he has subsequently developed over the past thirty-five years many hotels and room additions, as well as apartments, suburban office buildings, a high volume theme restaurant, and has organized a number of real estate investment syndications. In 1987 he was elected as President of the International Association of Holiday Inns, representing over two thousand franchise hotels worldwide. His achievement of high operating profits is attributed to sensitivity to the customer’s needs while serving them with a carefully planned and thoughtfully budgeted staff.
