Since 2014 · Canada since 2025We see a project as a business, not as real estate
HMG Hotels is the Canadian office of HORECA Management Group — a hotel development and management company founded in Tbilisi in 2014, working with investors, developers and owners from the first feasibility question to daily operation.
Four disciplines, one contract, one line of accountability
HORECA Management Group provides professional support across the whole project lifecycle: market and project assessment, concept and business-model development, architectural and design coordination, construction and fit-out management, procurement, pre-opening and ongoing operations.
We work on hotels, aparthotels, resorts, restaurants and spa and wellness facilities, both internationally branded and independent. We treat every project as a future business rather than as a building, which is why the architectural, technical, financial and operating decisions are brought into a single strategy instead of being handed between consultants who never meet.
The office opened in Toronto in 2025 and operates from the Greater Toronto Area, taking on work across the country.
Four teams under one roof
Each is a separate team with its own specialists, and they work on the same project together — under one contract.
HMG Hospitality
The hotel-business side: market assessment, concept, financial model, brand and franchise negotiation, pre-opening and day-to-day operations.
HMG Architecture & Design
Design coordination, interiors, engineering review and cost optimisation. Every drawing is checked against how the hotel will run, not only how it will look. This works alongside your licensed architect of record.
HMG Construction
Construction and fit-out management on the owner's side: tendering, budget and quality control, and monthly owner reporting — beside your general contractor, not in place of them.
HMG Hotel Concepts
Equipping the hotel: FF&E and OS&E — furniture, textiles, equipment and inventory. Specification, tender, procurement, logistics and installation.
Three principles we do not trade away
Numbers first, drawing second
The key count, the food and beverage programme and the gross floor area come out of the financial model. If the numbers do not work, a beautiful sketch will not fix them — it will only make them more expensive to correct.
On the owner's side
On site it is never in our interest for the scope of works to grow. That is precisely why budget control, quantity verification and tendering sit with us and not with whoever is building. Nobody can audit themselves.
Tied to the result
At the operating stage our fee is tied to how the hotel performs. If the asset does badly, that lands on us as well as on the owner. It is the only fee structure that keeps both sides looking at the same number.
What we bring, and what we hire locally
The Toronto office opened in 2025 and works across Canada. Twelve years of delivered hotels stand behind it, and the part of that which travels is the method — the rest we hire on the ground, project by project.
What transfers: feasibility method, brand and franchise negotiation, the operating brief that makes a building staffable, procurement discipline, revenue management, owner reporting and twelve years of knowing which decisions become expensive later.
What also transfers is the part no brand manual contains — the kitchen, the wine list and the way a guest is received. Where our standard comes from
What we source locally, every time: the licensed architect of record and engineering consultants, the general contractor, the cost consultant, legal and tax counsel, and market data for the specific municipality. Approvals, building code, accessibility requirements and construction pricing are researched project by project rather than assumed.
