Selecting The Management Company

for a Condo Hotel

Q: In a condo hotel, who selects the management company? Do the unit owners have any right to fire a management company if they are dissatisfied?

A: The developer chooses the management for the initial term, usually between 10 to 20 years, and usually that management agreement is tied in with his choice of franchise.

After the initial term, the development is turned over to the condo hotel association which consists of the individual condo hotel unit owners. The owners vote on whether to keep the existing management firm and franchise or whether to make a change.
