Peak Hospitality keeps the books and runs the hotels for owners across the Western United States. We’ve done both from Albuquerque since 2000. Our accounting covers everything from the night audit to the owner report, and our operations work makes a property earn more from what it already has.

These are the questions hotel owners ask us most. Peak has managed hotels in the Western United States since 2000.
Yes, and it’s full accounting. It runs from the night audit to the owner report, with payables, receivables, payroll and the hiring and training of staff in between. We do it for the hotels we manage. We also do it on its own for hotels we don’t.
It runs the hotel for the owner. At Peak that starts with the books and the daily operation, and it reaches into revenue, sales and renovation when a property needs them. We answer to the owner. The owner’s return is how we measure the job.
We’re based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our hotels today are spread across six Western states, and we’ve worked on properties farther afield too, from Houston to St. Louis.
Branded select-service and full-service hotels under Best Western, Choice and IHG flags, and independents with real character. The historic Gadsden in Douglas, Arizona, is one. Tombstone Lookout Lodge is another.
It’s setting the right rate on the right channel for each night. We study the comp set and the demand in the market, then adjust rates and channel mix to grow RevPAR. That’s the revenue a hotel earns per available room.
It starts with a conversation about the property and what you want from it. Then we assess the hotel on site and put together a management proposal. Once there’s an agreement, we handle the transition.
Start with the team: clear standards, good training and quick recognition. After that it’s a maintained property and fast answers to guests, including the ones who write online.
Walter Barela served two terms on the board of the American Hotel & Lodging Association and sits on the board of the Latino Hotel Association, where his focus is bringing more people into hospitality careers.
Yes. We plan renovations and PIPs, guide design and oversee construction, with budgets and timelines tied to what the owner needs the property to earn.
