Concord Hospitality Enters 2026 with Expansion of its Full-Service Management Portfolio with new Openings and Management Agreement Across the U.S.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Concord Hospitality, a leading hospitality management and development company with more than 140 hotel properties across the United States and Canada and over 45 stand-alone concept restaurants, is expanding its full-service management portfolio in 2026, leveraging its deep expertise in hotel operations and food-and-beverage concepts. 

Concord began the new year celebrating the opening of Hilton Jacksonville at Mayo Clinic, located on the renowned Mayo Clinic campus in Jacksonville, Florida. Concord continues to build momentum in the first quarter with additional properties preparing to debut as the company expands its management portfolio through new strategic partnerships.

Concord has also assumed management of South Shore Harbour Resort & Conference Center, Southeast Texas’ largest waterside resort. Located 30 minutes south of Houston on Clear Lake, the nautically inspired property features 237 guest rooms, a tropical pool complex with swim-up bar and more than 25,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space. The resort serves both leisure travelers and corporate groups while offering convenient access to Kemah Boardwalk and Galveston Bay.

Together, these recent openings and new management agreements highlight Concord’s continued, measured growth and reinforce the company’s reputation as a leader in the Full-Service hotel arena. Concord currently manages over 30 full-service hotels, delivering high-touch service across a diverse range of hospitality segments. 

Concord is also expanding its presence in the lifestyle boutique segment through its Opus Collection, the company’s portfolio dedicated to upper-upscale and independent-minded hotels. Three new properties will join the collection, including The Waymark in Chattanooga and The Union Hotel in Flemington, New Jersey, a Tribute Portfolio property.

The Waymark, under the Tapestry Collection by Hilton, brings new life to downtown Chattanooga by reimagining the historic 1927 Chattanooga Savings Bank and Trust Company building. This 148-room hotel celebrates adaptive reuse, blending modern comfort with the building’s storied past. Guests can enjoy curated dining experiences, take in sweeping city views from the eleventh-floor rooftop, and uncover The Vault, a hidden speakeasy offering a sophisticated, intimate atmosphere—all while experiencing a thoughtful revival of Chattanooga’s architectural heritage. 

The Union Hotel, located in the Flemington Historic District in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, is a landmark property that is reopening after being closed since 2008. Originally established in the 1870s as a gathering place for stagecoach travelers, the hotel is being revitalized as part of the larger Courthouse Square mixed-use development. The project will include 100 hotel rooms, luxury apartments and four food-and-beverage outlets, including Union Steak, a fine dining steakhouse.  

With each addition, Concord continues to strengthen its position as a trusted operating partner for full-service and lifestyle hotel assets. Our growth reflects the confidence our ownership partners place in our team to deliver strong operational performance, effective marketing strategies and exceptional guest experiences across a wide range of hospitality environments.

Mark Laport, President and CEO of Concord Hospitality
