MODA HOTEL & RESORT MANAGEMENT

Moda Management is hired to a Management and/or Technical Services Agreement for the project - new build, existing or distressed. The development team is selected - consisting of developer, architect, engineers, interior designer, lawyers, landscape architect, management company/consultant, and others significant to the project. - and meets as a group to discuss the vision, the marketplace and the financial parameters. Moda is best used in a new build project, as part of the pre-planning process where some eighteen months or more before the opening, there is a hotel/resort pre-opening plan and budget that is supervised and controlled by Moda Management, from the hiring of the general manager and sales team, to the execution of a pre-opening sales & marketing and operations plan. Moda is experienced in leading the whole development team, or precise aspects of the development - whichever suits the owners needs. Moda will ensure your project is built to operate efficiently for its end use - as a hotel, a resort, or a condo hotel/resort to the budget laid down. Upon completion of construction, Moda or the selected operator begins operation of the hotel/resort.
