Dakota Hospitality Company was a hotel company based in Fargo, North Dakota. It owned and operated hotels under the Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Hilton Garden Inn brands in the Central United States. In late 2007, the Wold brothers who owned the company sold the hotel assets and the management company to Snyder Hotels. The company was renamed First Call Hospitality and continues to operate the portfolio of hotels it did under Dakota Hospitality Company.
Famous quotes containing the words hospitality and/or company:
“It is remarkable that, notwithstanding the universal favor with which the New Testament is outwardly received, and even the bigotry with which it is defended, there is no hospitality shown to, there is no appreciation of, the order of truth with which it deals. I know of no book that has so few readers. There is none so truly strange, and heretical, and unpopular. To Christians, no less than Greeks and Jews, it is foolishness and a stumbling-block.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
