Kemmons Wilson Companies is a single-family office in its third generation, investing with a focus on hospitality. Established in 1948, it traces its operating heritage to Kemmons Wilson, the family entrepreneur who founded the Holiday Inn hotel brand in the early 1950s. The company manages a dedicated hospitality investment vehicle, which serves as the family's hospitality investment arm, and it acts as manager of that fund. Because it is a family office that also runs a managed vehicle, it puts capital into hotel and hospitality-related real estate through both family capital and pooled structures. Sponsors dealing with the firm reach an investor that combines decades in lodging, a direct line to Holiday Inn and a hospitality-focused fund, relevant to hotel deals and related hospitality opportunities.
