Landingplace Hotels Launches Two New Brands
Landingplace Suites Targeted Toward Long-Term Extended-Stay Guests; Landingplace Select Geared Toward Transient Travelers BLUFFTON, S.C., July 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Officials of Landingplace Hotels, a hotel franchisor built by operators for operators, today announced the launch of two midscale, conversion-focused brands aimed at solving the real challenges hotel owners face, from rising costs and staffing shortages to rigid brand standards and shifting guest expectations. Landingplace Suites bridges the gap between extended-stay hotels and furnished apartments, offering flexible 30+ night stays without leases. Guests enjoy apartment-style suites that combine home-like comfort with hotel convenience. Locally inspired experiences, such as activated outdoor spaces, community rooms, food trucks and live music, create a lifestyle-driven experience for long-term guests. Landingplace Select is a select-service brand designed for short-term, high-traffic stays. With lean operations, pay-per-use housekeeping and an expanded grab-and-go market, it is designed for streamlined operations and efficiencies. Simple, modern design and smart tech deliver a clean, guest-driven experience that's easy to operate and built for flexibility and simplicity. Founded by seasoned hospitality owners and operators, Landingplace Hotels delivers a flexible, operationally efficient model built around the goal of enabling owners to operate more profitably and adapt to rising costs, tighter financing and shifting guest expectations. Landingplace delivers unique value to owners by taking a cutting-edge approach to housekeeping and breakfast, increasing distribution opportunities through long-term stays marketed on platforms like and standing out in the crowded midscale market with locally inspired design and lifestyle programming, such as food trucks, live music and neighborhood partnerships. "As owners and operators ourselves, we've seen firsthand how rigid, outdated hotel systems fall short for today's guests and owners," said Jeremy Bratcher, CEO and co-founder. "We built Landingplace to close that gap — with brands designed for flexibility, simplicity and an owner-first approach, without compromising guest comfort or performance." Unlike legacy brands with blanket mandates, Landingplace offers flexible, cost-efficient PIP standards. "According to Matthews Real Estate Investment Services™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, more than $5.8 billion in U.S. hotel loans will mature in 2025, creating major refinancing pressure," Bratcher added. "At the same time, rising PIP costs, FF&E expenses and interest rates are making it harder for owners to stay compliant or reposition assets profitably. Our model gives owners a smarter path forward engineered for operational simplicity and scalability with cost-efficient PIP standards, lean operations and flexible conversions and new builds that help properties stand out in a crowded midscale market." Helping Owners Capture Untapped Demand Landingplace Hotels equips every property with built-in tools to enhance efficiency, reach untapped demand and simplify operations. Inventory is distributed across platforms like Furnished Finder, Airbnb and Zillow, attracting long-term guests most hotels miss. Each property uses HotelKey for its PMS, FLYR for AI-powered revenue management and Amadeus iHotelier for full-channel distribution. Guest-facing tools like Nonius and Yuvod TV for streaming, The Guestbook rewards program and Cvent Transient leads help properties increase loyalty, stand out and drive more revenue per stay. "Everything we've built, from flexible, realistic PIP strategies and streamlined operations to tools that capture untapped demand, is designed to solve real challenges for owners," said Jacob Amezcua, president and co-founder. "We're hoteliers ourselves, and we know it's possible to run a leaner, more efficient hotel without sacrificing guest experience. In fact, streamlined operations with a focus on guest choice and flexibility often lead to a more personalized and memorable stay." Executive Team Landingplace Hotels was co-founded by Jeremy Bratcher and Jacob Amezcua, who bring over 35 years of combined leadership in hospitality, franchising and real estate. Bratcher has held senior roles with leading hotel groups including IHG Hotels & Resorts, Spinnaker Resorts, MCR Hotels, Island Hospitality GF Hotels, and Starwood Hotels.

The leadership team includes Stacy Bedsole, EVP of Brand & Marketing; Glenn Miller, EVP of Commercial Strategy; John Kelly, EVP of Franchise Operations; Orlando McRae, Director of Design & Construction; and Gus Stamoutsos, SVP of Franchise Development. Target Locations Development is focused on urban and suburban markets with strong business, medical and university demand, where brand saturation limits new entry and creates a need for flexible, financially viable alternatives. "Landingplace was built to give owners a financially viable way to compete in a shifting market," Amezcua added. "Unlike legacy brands, we focus on operational simplicity, freedom within a framework and industry leading systems— all while delivering a guest experience that's flexible and tailored to meet modern guest needs."

75 Years In Motion: The Story Behind New Orleans' Spinning Carousel Bar
Carousel Bar Walk into the Hotel Monteleone and you'll feel it before you really see it. There's a soft hum in the room, a sort of hypnotic motion, and then you realize—the bar itself is moving. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, a carousel of 25 seats turns in a gentle circle, carrying cocktails and conversation with it. This September, the Carousel Bar will celebrate its 75th birthday. And like so many New Orleans institutions, its story is tangled up with the history of the city, the music, the literature, and—of course—the drinks. Sazerac 'The hotel's legacy actually begins about in the early 1800s when Antonio Monteleone immigrated here from Sicily. He was a shoemaker, and he set up a shoe shop across the street where the Angela King gallery is today, and across the street was a small, 35 room hotel called the Victor, and in 1886 he had the opportunity to purchase it, and that's when he became started the hotel Monteleone,' Marvin Allen, Beverage Director at the Hotel Monteleone told me from a seat at the iconic bar. Hotel Monteleone Antonio was forward-thinking. By 1909, he had added 300 rooms, renamed the property Hotel Monteleone, and fireproofed the place—no small thing in a city that had seen its fair share of French Quarter blazes. Over the years the hotel became one of the first to offer ceiling fans, radios, and eventually air conditioning in every room. It stayed open through everything the city threw at it, from hurricanes to an ill-advised government plan in the 1960s to run an interstate straight through the French Quarter. 'In all their wisdom, what the government was going to do is put an interstate along the riverfront, which would have wiped out the complete French Quarter. And these two ladies decided no, that was not going to happen. So they fought it. We got it as declared as a historic district,' Allen says. The Monteleone also became a literary landmark—home turf for Tennessee Williams, Ernest Hemingway, Truman Capote, Anne Rice, Stephen King and more. 'Tennessee Williams was a big friend of the hotel. He would sit here at the carousel and he would write and watch people on Royal Street, and they'll become characters in some of his plays,' says Allen. Carousel Bar On September 3, 1949, the bar itself began to move. 'That's the day the carousel opened. It did not look like this. We didn't have a canopy over the top. It was just like white acoustical tiles. This was a wooden bar top. These stools were just like round diner stools. It was very plain,' Allen says. Carousel Bar In the 1960s the bar gained its red-and-white striped canopy, and in 1992, Disney artists hand-painted the whimsical horses and panels that circle the bar today. A big remodel in 2011 brightened the space and added windows facing Royal Street, but the carousel itself still runs the same way: 'It's 25 seats to go around here. There's about 2000 big ball bearings that operate it, about four or six wheels, big bicycle chain and a quarter horsepower electric motor operates this and keeps it going around,' Allen explains. Once it starts spinning in the morning, it doesn't stop until midnight. And yes, bartenders really do have to vault over the bar to get in and out. 'You hop over, that's the only way in and out,' Allen says with a grin. One new hire lasted just 30 minutes after realizing they weren't kidding about the jumping. Carousel Bar The Carousel Bar has seen some things in its 75 years: speakeasy culture during Prohibition ('they took our booze from us. How dare them. Or they tried to, they tried to, they did not succeed, especially here in New Orleans,' says Allen), movie crews filming Girls Trip and CSI: New Orleans, ghosts (a mischievous maintenance man named Red and a little boy on the 14th floor), and even an impromptu piano set from Billy Joel during Jazz Fest. Carousel Bar And of course, there are the drinks. If you sit down for a spin, order the official cocktail of New Orleans—the Sazerac—or the house specialty, the Vieux Carré, a rich, boozy blend of Pierre Ferrand 1840 Cognac, Sazerac rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, Bénédictine, and two kinds of bitters. Seventy-five years after the first carousel riders bellied up to the bar, it's still turning—just a little slower than you might expect. Maybe that's the point. You sit down, the world goes by, and for a drink or two, you're part of the story.
