SAN ANTONIO — Life House, a technology-forward hotel management company, has been selected to manage three new hotels in Texas – Hotel Dryce in Fort Worth, The Flats at St. Mary in San Antonio, and a third property that will be announced soon. The owners of both Hotel Dryce and The Flats at St. Mary wanted an experienced independent hotel operator to run the day-to-day operations and free up their time to focus on development projects. They were drawn to Life House’s ability to preserve brand identity, while maximizing profit through tech-enabled management.

Near Fort Worth’s Cultural District, Hotel Dryce was recently developed with local craftsmanship in mind. Business owners Jonathan Morris and Allen Mederos were consumed by on-the-ground operations, even covering GM shifts. They were attracted to Life House’s all-in-one solution that would maximize performance, while maintaining the hotel’s local feel.
The Flats at St. Mary is a complete renovation of a historic building in San Antonio. The owners, Frank & Shelly Markey and Craig Glendenning from Bright Lakes Real Estate, painstakingly restored the building into a high-end hotel. They were impressed by Life House’s advanced technology, which allows smaller independent hotels to compete with institutional players.
Life House provides institutional-quality hotel management and is thus uniquely positioned to help independent hotels realize their full potential. They offer best-in-class hotel operations powered by robust operational systems and proprietary technology that consistently drives 2x higher NOI and 40% higher net revenues, all with a lean on-site staffing model. Life House is therefore seeing high demand for its management platform throughout Texas and is targeting the state as a strategic area of growth.
