About Hay Creek Hotels:
Founded in 2005, Hay Creek Hotels was created specifically to
combine the intimacy of a boutique hotel with world-class cuisine,
cutting-edge technology, unparalleled guest service and the
exclusive amenities of a luxury inn. At Hay Creek Hotels, our
passion is to pioneer superior service and inspire excitement within
the small, independent hotel sector: to 'Delight & Surprise' our
guests every day. These values are driven by the idea that the best
hotels and restaurants are the ones that draw on the spirit, culture
and character of their locales. From meticulously renovated historic
properties to exciting new-build hotels, we offer some of the most
unique and interesting lodging and dining destinations in the United
States. Our hotels and resorts are designed to reflect their
respective neighborhoods and serve as good neighbors by
participating in community events and causes. Through
environmentally responsible design and day-to-day management, we
adhere to best practices for sustainable operations at every location.
Bringing a hyper-local focus to the hotel dining experience, the
restaurants in the Hay Creek Hotels collection form deep connections
with respected local farms and providers. Our chefs seamlessly
integrate their regions’ finest meats, seafood and produce with
contemporary cooking styles and flavors. Each Hay Creek restaurant
is distinguished by sophisticated yet casual ambiance and cuisine
that delivers both comfort and surprise with each bite. We are not
the average box hotel, and this is not the average dining
experience. Dishes are created each night with the perfect balance
of texture, flavor, and presentation. Farm-to-table food brings
sensational seasonal menus with creative twists on old classics.
Our Core Values and Beliefs;
We promote and support a culture that Delights & Surprises each
of our customers, associates, and business partners. Our Host
Philosophy encourages each associate to develop the skills necessary
to offer outstanding hospitality service outside the scope of their
primary job responsibilities. Our Associate Promise is the
commitment to truly listen to and communicate openly and honestly
with all team members. We embrace Pride of Ownership to create an,
"I can, I am, I own," empowered approach to everything we
do. Partnering in our Local Community and respecting the environment
we live in are beliefs we incorporate into daily operations.
