While Ensemble Hospitality says there is strength for hospitality on the coast of California, the company is still on the hunt for group business to return, especially during the week.

Managing Director Conrad Garner has been with Long Beach, California-based owner-operator Ensemble for 20 years. Ensemble Hospitality is a division of Ensemble Investments, which has other commercial real estate verticals in multifamily and life science. The company had its start in hotels in the 1980s, trying to get a Santa Monica, California, hotel ready in time for the LA Olympics in 1984, and refocused on hotels again in the early 2000s, around the time Garner joined.
