VIVÂMEE

VIVÂMEE Hospitality is a vertically integrated management company, investment group, and value-add land developer. Our specialty is the redevelopment of distressed hospitality assets. We are uniquely qualified to revive the "soul"​ of the physical property and more importantly the "soul"​ of the hospitality culture delivered to the souls of our guests and team. ABOUT Many refer to our industry as "The Hotel Business"​ or the "Hotel Industry."​ At VIVÂMEE, we reject that limiting property-centric presupposition. We choose to be leaders in the Hospitality Industry. Our industry is not just operating hotels; its purpose is to deliver authentic hospitality which is an intimately human service. We believe cherishing the souls of our guests and the team we trust to serve them is the key to achieving authentic hospitality. Our experience has revealed that the guests want to know they are loved, they want to know it is our pleasure to serve, and they want to know that we see their unique and infinite dignity as persons. The economic benefits of the VIVÂMEE form of authentic hospitality can be exponential for hospitality asset owners. Today’s guest is yearning for this type of “soul service,” and we believe our VIVÂMEE culture will provide tremendous dividends for years to come. OUR NAME The word VIVÂMEE is a combination of VIV (vēv), representing the French word raviver meaning revive, and ÂMEE (áh/mā), representing the French word for soul, âme. Our name is the answer to our question; "WHY?"​ Why were we were created? VIVÂMEE was created to deliver authentic hospitality. We believe that giving of ourselves in service has the power to revive the soul. Authentic hospitality is possible when we cherish the souls of our guests and the team we trust to serve them. Accordingly, as developers, we have a passion for reviving the soul of distressed properties as well. VIVÂMEE seeks to bring these assets back to a fullness of life and a fullness of profitability.
