• About

    KHP Capital Partners is a real estate private equity firm focused on investments in lifestyle and independent hotels. Our firm manages capital on behalf of its Principals and Limited Partners with the goal of creating long term value through targeted investments in hotel real estate. Headquartered in San Francisco, CA, we invest across the United States and Canada, generating superior risk-adjusted returns by focusing on disciplined acquisition criteria and implementing value-add investment strategies that capitalize on our deep experience in hotel operations and development.

    We focus primarily on the acquisition of existing full-service hotels that can benefit from enhanced branding and management, renovation and repositioning of hotels in need of capital, and adaptive reuse of buildings suitable for conversion to hotel use.

    With most key disciplines residing in-house and with extensive industry knowledge, we act quickly and decisively, identifying underperforming properties and aggressively asset managing our hotels to improve performance. We further leverage our construction and design expertise to evaluate and execute complex capital improvement and redevelopment projects, enabling us to take advantage of opportunities that others cannot.

    Our History

    KHP Capital Partners was formed in 2015 by Mike Depatie, Joe Long and Ben Rowe to take over the private equity fund management business formerly managed by Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants after the sale of the hotel management company to InterContinental Hotel Group. As the former Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Kimpton, this team previously led the company’s private equity business while also overseeing the hotel and restaurant management business. After joining Kimpton in 2003, they raised and invested the KHP series of funds and under their leadership Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants grew to become the largest independent owner and operator of boutique hotels in the United States.
