Lexington owners worldwide have embraced the innovative Freestyle Brand Affiliation model that offers members flexible, low fees; short-term contracts; and a Voice and a Vote in the brand's direction while providing the most comprehensive resources in the lodging industry.

And providing that exceptional experience to each and every customer is the idea behind Lexington's award-winning Target 100 guest satisfaction program. Expect something different with The Lexington Collection hotels, as each hotel is Inspired by Individuality^SM.
		Setting the Pace in Brand Affiliation Worldwide Headquartered in Coral Springs, Fla., Vantage Hospitality Group is the 12th largest hotel company worldwide and the only hotel company to be ranked three years in a row on Inc. Magazine's 500/5000 List of Fastest Growing Private Companies. Founded in 1996, the company has 27 divisional offices around the world and has grown to include a broad spectrum of hospitality-related ventures, managing resources in hotel ownership, management, marketing, national brand affiliation and real estate. Vantage's award-winning membership hotel brand, Americas Best Value Inn, has been recognized by the lodging industry as one of the fastest growing chains five years in a row. The company continued to grow in 2007 with the launch of its upscale hotel chain, The Lexington Collection. Vantage will continue to expand its brands domestically, as well as in international markets such as India, China, Canada, Mexico, North Africa, and the Gulf Region. Hotel owners, just like you, developed the Vantage Hospitality Group. Our unique partnership's foundation is based on experience and stability, as the six managing partners are still in place as the directors of their respective divisions. This level of stability is rare, if non-existent, in other hotel companies. Our success is possible because of the attitude and a genuine trust among the partners and our members. That's the Vantage difference!
		*Lexington Directors*
Roger Bloss, President & CEO Vantage Hospitality Group		Roger Bloss has over 40 years experience in the hospitality industry. His portfolio includes being the youngest general manager for a well-known national chain and serving in executive positions with several major franchise companies. During that time, he developed a unique perspective on the hospitality industry: give hotel owners a business model that is fair and one that works during the upswings and downturns of the economic cycle. Bloss took that vision and created Vantage's innovative Freestyle Brand Affiliation Model, offering hoteliers a voice and a vote in the brand's direction (including setting the fees members pay to the brand); low, flat fees; short-term contracts; and no liquidated damages. Unheard of in the industry, the successful model earned Bloss Lodging Magazine's "Innovator of the Year" award in 2006. Bloss and his partners founded Cal-Vegas, Limited, (now Vantage Hospitality Group, Inc.) in 1996. They acquired their first hotel with less than $50,000 in initial capital and continued to build the company's infrastructure, resources, and programs. Confident that the membership model approach would reinvent the hospitality industry, the group launched Best Value Inn (predecessor to Americas Best Value Inn) in 1999. Vantage is now the 12th largest hotel company worldwide, and ABVI has grown to more than 800 properties and 50,000 guest rooms throughout North America and China. Industry honors include five National Chain Leadership awards and being recognized as the Fastest Growing Chain for the past five years.
