COHO Services
Our feet may be planted in Portland, Oregon but our heart has always been in hospitality. A family-owned business, COHO began with a single hotel and has since grown to become a leading regional hospitality company with ownership in both branded and independent hotels, hotel reservation/distribution technology, independent restaurants, boutique health clubs, wineries and more. Our management approach is based around three core groups of people: owners, employees and customers. We believe that all three must succeed equally in order for the whole to succeed. Our hands-on philosophy means we work best when we are engaged. We strive to cultivate talent from within and believe businesses succeed when employees are empowered with knowledge. We support our properties by working with them to create a strategy, develop and execute efficient operating systems and maintain accountability through reporting. Our hospitality solutions work together to create long-term success for our owners and business partners.
