Woman Owned Hospitality Group
What happens when a Commercial Real Estate Broker, Vice President - Industry Strategy, and a Nationally Certified and Licensed School Psychologist get together? A woman owned hospitality group is born.
Hospitality Ventures, LLC, the owner operator of Arch + Cable Hotel, was created by the above mentioned group of strong women where boldly simple, modern, and high-end hospitality immerses guests into the distinctive and unforgettable elements of our region.
We wanted a peek into their intricate minds and asked a few questions to understand their reasoning, goals, and vision behind Hospitality Ventures, LLC. Their answers did not disappoint.
Why did you want to start Hospitality Ventures?
There is a big need for this type of product in our market. The boutique hotel industry is rapidly growing (35%+ in 2022). Being energized about innovative initiatives that have a positive economic impact provided an excellent opportunity to make this a reuse project and utilize a vacant office space. Creating a high-end and elevated guest experience encompassing unique, regional characteristics of Mankato is where our passion lies.
Why did you choose to be completely woman owned?
“Why not? No one ever askes why companies are all-men owned. Joking aside, the women I have beside me are smart and can recognize a good investment when they see one.” Our focus is on simple luxury, warm hospitality, and building a team around creativity and empowerment.
“Each owner is our all-woman ownership group brings a unique perspective, incredible insight, an element of creativity, and a passion for our mission to provide a distinctive and unforgettable guest experience.”
What value does this business bring to the area?
Variety! Arch + Cable fills an existing void in the market to provide a boutique experience accommodating business travelers, a young couple, or a travel blogger. Being located in the heart of downtown, our hotel is able to accommodate the hospitality needs of Greater Mankato, allow guests to be immersed in culture, and provide unique experiences that not every franchise brand can offer. “For those looking for something unexpected or original, Arch + Cable will be the place.”
What is your vision or plan for the future?
“Our vision is for Arch + Cable to reflect an iconic style and ambiance.” We want each guest to establish a connection to our brand through creating engaging, personalized experiences and services.
Future plans include continued innovation, enhanced guest experience, and growth in other markets in need of a unique experience. The processes of renovating a second location in Mankato is already underway. “Fortune favors the bold, right?”
What is the most exciting part of owning a new hospitality company?
Seeing the vision come to life and talking about the concept with other local business owners. The smallest details make such an impact as each element comes together. We’ve received supportive comments, been given vendor recommendations, created partnerships for corporate stays, and been fully embraced by our community as a new business. The support is so encouraging and every detail brings us one step closer to providing a welcoming and exceptional experience for our first guests.
We are excited for the future and want our community and guests to feel the same. Share in the excitement by booking your first stay today!
