Hotel Equities and Springboard Hospitality enter merger
Hotel Equities and Springboard Hospitality have merged, forming a 'differentiated' hotel management company.
This move is said to unite two 'complementary' entities with distinct capabilities in the hospitality sector.
Hotel Equities is known for its experience in managing branded, select and full-service assets, while Springboard Hospitality oversees independent, lifestyle and resort properties.
The joint entity will manage a portfolio of properties in the US, Canada, the Caribbean and Latin America.
These properties span various destinations including urban centres, resorts and outdoor locales.
Springboard Hospitality CEO Ben Rafter will lead the merged company as CEO.
Brad Rahinsky, previously the president and CEO of Hotel Equities, will take on the role of chairman.
Brad Rahinsky said: 'This next chapter for the combined company establishes scale with expanded regional insight and entrepreneurial agility to support owners across every asset class.'
Al Smith, president of hotel operations at Hotel Equities, will be appointed as the chief operating officer, and Springboard Hospitality executive vice-president Rob Robinson will become the president of Springboard Hospitality.
Hotel Equities said that the merger integrates its 'scaled purchasing power' and North American presence with Springboard's experience in commercial strategy, technology and expertise in West Coast and Hawaii markets.
The company will offer a range of services encompassing capital planning, development, food and beverage strategy, marketing, operations and revenue management.
Rafter said: 'We start with what both companies do best: revenue generation and technology innovation. We have earned our reputation by unlocking new revenue opportunities, embracing technology to stay ahead of the curve and tailoring creative solutions for each asset.
'From there our combined expertise allows us to move faster, think more creatively and deliver long-term value in ways that legacy operators simply can't.'
As the company progresses towards its next growth phase, it plans to announce key hires and expanded services in the upcoming months.

Ultra-Rare BMW 507 For Sale With Eye-Popping Pricetag
You can never go wrong with a vintage BMW. The German automaker's classic examples have a special way of combining slim bodylines and a svelte silhouette with sheer, menacing performance under the hood. This 1959 BMW 5078 Series II on Bring a Trailer is a perfect example of what I mean. When US importer Max Hoffman suggested that BMW design as mid-level sports car for the North American market, BMW replied with the 507. Featuring hand-built aluminum bodywork styled by Albrecht von Goertz, the 507 debuted in 1955 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City before entering production in late 1956. In 1957, the Series II debuted with a smaller fuel tank relocated from behind the seats to inside the trunk to prevent fumes from entering the cabin. This particular example, Chassis 70185, is one of only 252 built during the model's three years of production and was completed on October 6, 1958 as a Feather White car before being delivered new on October 31, 1958, to Autohaus H. Bäte KG in Hannover, Germany. The car reportedly underwent a refurbishment around 2012 that included a repaint in its current shade of Coral Red and a refinishing of its hardtop in an ivory color. The 507 was then acquired in 2022 by German specialists Arthur Bechtel Classic Motors, who re-trimmed the interior in tan leather. What sets this particular BMW 507 apart from others is its ivory hardtop that can be installed when the beige convertible top is not in use. Hardtops were optional equipment at the time and were hand-built to fit each car's hand-built bodywork, making them particularly rare and special accessories to own. Under the hood is a 3,168cc V8 with an aluminum block and cylinder heads as well as twin Zenith carburetors mated to a four-speed manual transmission. This 507 sits on 16" Rudge wheels wrapped in 6.00-16 Michelin Pilote X tires with Dunlop front disc and rear drum brakes behind them. The cabin still wears its tan leather and sports a contrasting ivory steering wheel and shift knob alongside a Becker Mexico radio. The odometer shows around 33,000 kilometers (~21,000 miles), with 25 of those being added by the current owner. The auction ends in 9 days with a current bid of $1,000,000, so it's unlikely that you and I will be able to afford such a beauty. Considering that it was purchased from a collection by its current owner in January 2025 and they only added 25 miles since, this poor thing suffers from a severe lack of being driven. This isn't an uncommon occurence with cars of this rarity and value, but it's also not an excuse. I won't go on a tangent about why driving your cars is the right thing to do, but I sure hope that the new owner feels the same way. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Lil Wayne will bring 'Tha Carter VI' tour to Target Center
Lil Wayne will bring 'Tha Carter VI' tour to Target Center originally appeared on Bring Me The News.

Fans will be hoping the artist makes it to Minnesota, with the rapper canceling previous metro shows on three occasions: twice in 2017 due to scheduling conflicts and then plane issues, and once in 2015 due to an issue with his entourage at Myth story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 3, 2025, where it first appeared.
