I am truly honored to be recognized, but I share this honor with my family and every member of our ARK crew supporting the more than 40 Choice hotels in our care,” Azim Saju. We are proud. So deserved! #Celebrate #ChoiceHotels #PemierLegacyAward #AsONE #Hospitality #Hotels

Why does ARK have an office in Ocala? We’re not the only ones who have seen how special this town is. Kentucky Derby history was made in Ocala in 1956, making it the Horse Capital of the World. Hear from the family who made it happen and didn’t quit on Ocala when they had a very financially attractive opportunity to do so.

ARK reposted this
💥 NEW EPISODE 💥 In this special collaborative episode, we recorded at the Hunter Conference, we share a conversation with Josiah Mackenzie of Hospitality Daily and Azim Saju, CEO of ARK. In this conversation, Azim discusses his multifaceted role in hospitality. From hotel ownership and third-party management to development, acquisitions, and renovations. He also unpacks how culture, financial literacy, and technology are reshaping modern hotel operations. In this clip, Azim dives into why financial literacy matters for every hotel employee, not just leadership. From a housekeeper checking a linen order to a breakfast attendant managing food supplies, the small decisions made every day directly impact a hotel’s performance and long-term value. Key Takeaways: • Every associate impacts valuation. Frontline operational decisions play a direct role in the financial health of a property. • Understanding the bigger picture creates stronger teams. When employees understand how the business works, they can better connect their role to the success of the hotel and their own career growth. • Financial literacy goes beyond the hotel walls. Learning these skills at work can also help associates better manage their personal finances at home. Hotels that invest in financial education are not just building stronger teams. They are building smarter, more engaged organizations. Check out the full episode in the comments, and don’t forget to like, follow The Modern Hotelier, and share if you enjoyed the conversation.
