History
Born out of ownership, Hogan Hospitality is built on the traditional values of a family-owned travel and hospitality business. Founders Ed and Lynn Hogan opened Pleasant Travel Service in 1959 and established a track record of innovative hospitality that grew the family enterprise.
As a hotel management company with a long track record of success in Hawaii, it was natural for the company to expand to the continental United States. With the acquisition of Marin Management, Inc. the company expanded its portfolio of branded and independent hotels in California, Arizona and Washington. Two family businesses with strong values and even stronger reputations in hospitality joined forces to provide unparalleled management services for hotel owners and guests while developing strategies for growth into new markets.
Corporate Citizenship
Our corporate team is required to be involved on boards of travel organizations and implement philanthropic programs designed to assist our communities. For example, Pat Mitchell serves as vice president on the board of the California Lodging Industry Association and supports the Dollars for Scholars scholarship fund for up-and-coming hospitality students in need.
