The Lexington Leadership Team

Roger Bloss has more than 40 years of experience in the hospitality industry, starting in the business as a teenager. After serving in executive positions with several major hotel franchise companies, Bloss and his partners started the Vantage Hospitality Group (formally Cal-Vegas, Limited) in 1996 and acquired their first hotel. Bloss' vision was to develop a national hotel chain based on an innovative membership model. His group was confident that this approach would reinvent the hospitality industry and change the way franchises were operated, and it did. The group continued to build the company's infrastructure, resources, and programs, then launched Americas Best Value Inn as a national hotel chain in 1999, earning many industry accolades over the past decade.

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 and 2010.
