Client Spotlight: Howard Hospitality
When you think of Sandestin’s inviting Residence Inn at Grand Boulevard and Courtyard Marriott at Grand Boulevard, you probably think “big hotel chain”; however, these two destinations are operated by Howard Hospitality, a group with the motto of “small hotel management company with big ideas,” which means they offer the convenience and guest-satisfaction of large opulent hospitality groups but it’s paired with unparalleled intimacy. Howard Hospitality also stands out for its volunteerism among local charitable organizations. These are the reasons we love working with Howard Hospitality and why we feel they’re overdue for a shout-out.

Supporting a Group that Spreads Local Love & Kindness
While it’s a given that a place that thinks of and handles our every need and whim with inviting warmth is someone we want to work with, the fact that Howard Hospitality invests time and resources in creating awareness for three of the Destin-area’s hardest-working charitable organizations wins our love and merits a huge shout-out. Howard Hospitality works with:
- Food for Thought – A nourishment-providing non-profit
- Cultural Arts Alliance – A Walton County arts organization
- Alaqua Animal Refuge – A 10-acre no-kill shelter
Each of these organizations contributes to the physical, emotional and intellectual, and social health of the community. This is why we love working with Howard Hospitality and why when we need a place to stay in Destin, there’s no better place than the Residence Inn or Courtyard Marriott at Sandestin at Grand Boulevard, and soon-to-be Hyatt Place. And there are even more exciting things coming up for Howard Hospitality in the near future, but our lips are sealed!
