Quality Assurance

Hotel developments are by nature expensive and decisions made during the development phase of your project can have costly implications once operations begin and can create long term efficiency shortcomings. I’ll provide you with sound advice and professional guidance every step of the way. 

Hotel Pre-Openings

Mike Jameson

I am an experienced hospitality professional with a demonstrated history of working in the industry for over 45 years. 

Throughout my career I have gained invaluable experience in the development side of the business with involvement in hotel refurbishments, brand conversions and rebranding, hotel pre-openings and hotel new-build projects.

Hotel design consulting, operational work flow and efficiency, financial feasibilities and operational readiness are areas in which I am well experienced.

Hotel
Pre-Opening

The pre-opening phase of the opening of an hotel involves all the preparations for the hotel opening before the hotel physically opens for business. This is what we do!

Hotel Refurbishments

Staying ahead of the game and the competition in the hotel industry is hard work and requires constant evaluation of your product. Renovation and refurbishment is not uncommon in the hotel industry with large brand hotels often changing their décor every 5 to 8 years.

Hotel Brand Conversions

Hotel brand conversion (also known as reflagging or rebranding) is a regular practice in the hotel industry. Two primary reasons for rebranding an hotel are as a result of a change in corporate strategy or the change in ownership of the hotel.

Operational Efficiencies

Operational efficiency is not limited to designs that streamline staff and service movement. It is also to do with internal energy efficiency, waste management, use of smart equipment and technologies and efficient public and back of house design and operation flows that avoid the clash of guest and staff.

"I had the privilege of working alongside Mike at our recently completed hotel development, Marijani Beach Resort & Spa where he was the Pre-Opening General Manager. Mike's many years of experience in the hotel industry was immediately evident in his contributions to the development, management of the development's owners/board and the setting up of a great management team to ensure the success of the hotel. His greatest asset remains being able to comfortably canvas across hotel operations, hotel finance structuring and development design and execution. We were able to effectively leverage these skillsets to come up with a one of a kind development. I would readily engage and recommend Mike to any similar roles in the future."

"I have known Mike for many years both as a friend and colleague. I can therefore testify with absolute confidence that Mike is a man of great integrity and character. The school of a "hard-knocks" has honed Mike's skill as both a businessman and a human being. He has uncommon compassion for people, and a heart to serve. A truly professional hotelier, Mike is also a sound businessman and were I to have a hotel business to manage I would have no hesitation with entrusting it to his care."
