The Lexington Collection

(Cleveland, OH) Like a stampede of wild horses, The Lexington Collection is quickly gaining momentum and moving west, adding three new Texas properties this week to its growing portfolio.

Brothers and developers, Mark and Miguel Guerra, owners of HDG Custom Builders, will begin construction on the luxury properties in Victoria, Edna, and Port O’Connor, TX with plans to open all three locations by fourth quarter of 2007.

Known for their award winning upscale homes, this is the Guerra brothers’ first venture into the hotel development arena. The hotel development portion of the company is named Hotel Developers Group, LLC.

When asked why they decided to expand their development company, Mark replied, “I love to play the board game Monopoly and anyone who has played the game knows, if you want to be a winner, you have to own the hotels!”

“Seriously though,” he continued, “As residents and home developers in this area of Texas, we see a definite need for an upscale hotel line, yet we want control over how to market the hotels to the people and visitors of this area. The Lexington Collection is the only hotel brand we found that will give us the freedom to design and market our hotels the way we want to, yet provide us with the resources to get up and running quickly.”

“We are thrilled to have the Guerra brothers in our network,” said Steve Belmonte, CEO, President and Partner of The Lexington Collection. “Their work in home construction and development is amazing and will transfer nicely to the construction of their hotels. They know what people want in a home environment and they will bring those extra touches to their Lexington Hotels.”

Premiering in the second quarter of 2006, The Lexington Collection is the only hotel membership brand available in the three and four star lodging segments. The brand offers owners low fees, short term contracts, no liquidated damages, and a choice of amenities. For more information, please visit or contact Steve Belmonte at 877-LEX-7171.
