Our Story

Trust Hospitality, based in Coral Gables, Florida, is a professional, full-service hotel management company that has operated branded and independent hotels throughout the Americas for over 30 years, with emphasis on properties in the Eastern United States and the Caribbean.

In 2020, at the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic, it entered into an agreement with Highgate Hotels. With the assistance of Trust Hospitality personnel, Highgate assumed the management of its approximately 30 hotels.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, Trust Hospitality relaunched its management business with the same focus it had previously – 50 to 200 room EP hotels in the Eastern United States and the Caribbean. It has hired or plans to hire several of its former associates and has commitments to operate hotels in Miami, New York City and the Caribbean.

Trust Hospitality is led by Richard Millard and Michael Register, two of its original founders.
