While carefully guarding our boutique scale, Easton Porter Group is aggressively building on our success.

Founded by a senior director of a premier global luxury hotel company, EPG thrives on being small and nimble. As a niche company with a laser focus, our management taps a wealth of resources, both in terms of capital and experience. We are owner-operated and hold significant equity positions of up to 50-70% in every project, complimented by banking partnerships providing flexible debt options. Our strategic capital priority is to keep debt to equity conservative for the initial four years of operation — starting at 50/50 and not increasing until the business and markets are forecasted to stabilize. We have financing readily available to pursue capital projects up to $25 million.

Easton Porter Group trains and empowers its operations managers to excel in multiple business modalities, ensuring that local decision making is hyper responsive to day-to-day realities and guest needs. While property-specific management is decentralized, the company has centralized legal, financial, HR and marketing divisions, with standardized systems, accounting and controls in place.  The field manages through Key Result Areas goals and metrics for sales, labor scheduling and controls, purchasing and training.

Though we’re in the luxury hospitality business, Easton Porter Group is very much a technology company. We leverage the most sophisticated software, much of it proprietary, to allow for lean, responsive operations. Our key operating systems are cloud-based, including our accounting, accounts payable, inventory management, procurement and property management, allowing for seamless management and low overhead, with defined operating responsibilities based in each business.

All Easton Porter Group properties and enterprises share a cohesive standard of excellence. This goes beyond marketing and branding—or the way in which we project ourselves—to the way in which guests experience us. Nothing speaks louder or stronger than word-of-mouth endorsement from discerning guests. The “EPG stamp of approval” is an exclusive standard indeed, and the investments and properties we pursue must meet and/or exceed this high benchmark.

Easton Porter Group invites guests to experience much more than an exceptional hotel or meal—we offer a memorable sense of place. Each of our properties exudes authentic character and charm relative to its individual locale, with local flavor reflected in color choices, materials and culinary flavors and ingredients. EPG’s Creative Director, Lynn Easton, is celebrated as a national tastemaker, and our hospitality brand is noted for sophisticated design rich in patina, alluring layers of texture and refined palettes that amplify the natural elegance and beauty of our properties. Similarly, our company culture celebrates collaborative talent and a shared passion for excellence.
