Peachtree Group Earns Multiple Honors at Hilton’s 2025 Americas Development Awards

Firm Recognized as Multi-Brand Developer of the Year with Four Additional Project Awards Spanning Focused Service, All Suites, New Development and Conversion Categories

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Peachtree Group announced it was recognized with five honors at Hilton’s 2025 Americas Development Awards, including Multi-Brand Developer of the Year, underscoring the strength of the firm’s hospitality development platform and longstanding partnership with Hilton. The annual awards recognize outstanding owners, development partners and hotel teams across the Americas for excellence in development, innovation and hospitality.

Peachtree Group Principal Mitul Patel was named Multi-Brand Developer of the Year, recognizing leadership across Hilton’s portfolio and the firm's continued expansion of high-quality hospitality assets throughout the United States.

In addition to the platform award, Peachtree Group and its development partners received recognition across multiple categories:

• Focused Service U.S. Developer of the Year – Hampton Inn & Suites Maui North Shore developed by Peachtree Group and Blackridge Group
• All Suites U.S. Developer of the Year – Embassy Suites by Hilton Gulf Shores Beach Resort developed by Peachtree Group and Woodbine Hospitality Group
• Curio Collection by Hilton New Build Award – The Ava Hotel Paso Robles, Curio Collection by Hilton developed by Peachtree Group and Paso Robles Hotel Partners, LLC
• Hilton Garden Inn Conversion Award – Hilton Garden Inn North Phoenix Scottsdale developed by Peachtree Group

“These recognitions reflect the strength of our development platform and the partnerships that make these projects possible,” Patel said. “We have built our platform around identifying compelling markets, executing complex developments and delivering hotels that create long-term value for guests, communities and investment partners. We are honored to be recognized by Hilton alongside our development partners.”

Peachtree Group has partnered with leading hospitality brands for nearly two decades, and today maintains a hotel development portfolio and pipeline exceeding $2 billion nationwide, spanning urban infill developments, destination resorts, lifestyle properties and select-service hotels. The firm’s vertically integrated platform supports development, lending, acquisitions, asset management and hotel operations.

“These awards reflect the strength of our investment, development, asset management and operations teams and their ability to identify markets and projects we believe can create long-term value,” said Greg Friedman, managing principal and CEO, Peachtree Group. “We have built an outstanding development platform, and our teams help drive performance well beyond opening day. We remain bullish on hospitality, particularly newer, premium-branded hotels, as limited new supply and strong long-term demand trends continue to support many of the markets where we invest, including future developments such as our dual-branded Embassy Suites and Tempo by Hilton project in downtown Austin.”

Hilton selected winners from hotels opened during 2025 across the Americas, recognizing achievements in development excellence, design innovation, brand growth and community impact. Hilton added more than 400 hotels across the region during the year, with 59 projects and development partners receiving awards.
