LBA Hospitality Expands Mississippi Portfolio with Two Hilton Garden Inn Properties

DOTHAN, Ala. [March 16, 2026] LBA Hospitality has expanded its management portfolio with the addition of two Mississippi properties: the Hilton Garden Inn Biloxi and the Hilton Garden Inn Hattiesburg.

The addition of the Hilton Garden Inn Hattiesburg strengthens LBA Hospitality’s presence in the Hattiesburg market, where the company already manages two hotels. The Hilton Garden Inn Biloxi marks LBA’s first property in the Biloxi market and expands the company’s footprint along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, a region known for strong leisure demand and growing tourism investment.

The additions also reflect a broader trend across the hospitality industry as owners increasingly seek experienced management partners to help optimize performance and navigate evolving market conditions.

 

“We’re proud to add these properties to our management portfolio,” said Beau Benton, President of LBA Hospitality. “Hattiesburg continues to be an important market for us, and Biloxi represents a strong opportunity to expand our presence along the Gulf Coast.”

“Owners today are focused on maximizing the performance of their assets,” said Farrah Adams, Chief Operating Officer of LBA Hospitality. “For select-service hotels like Hilton Garden Inn, that often includes strengthening food and beverage programs, building banquet and catering business, and creating menus that reflect the local market rather than a typical hotel restaurant experience. With more than 50 years in the hospitality industry, our team understands how to implement these strategies in ways that drive meaningful results for ownership.”

LBA Hospitality provides full-service hospitality management, revenue strategy, and operational support for a diverse portfolio of hotels across the United States, partnering with ownership groups to drive performance and long-term value.
