New Castle Hotels & Resorts

New Castle Hotels & Resorts (NCH) is a longtime hotel investment, development, and management firm. Established in 1980 by David Buffam, NCH has built its reputation on acquiring, redeveloping, and operating hotels and resorts — often taking on under-performing or complex assets, renovating or repositioning them, and managing them under nationally recognized brands or as independent properties.

Over decades, NCH has developed expertise in "turnaround acquisitions," historic-property redevelopment, new-build hotel developments, and conversion strategies. They focus on both full-service and select-service hotels, urban, suburban, resort or resort-adjacent properties, and maintain relationships with major hotel-brand franchisors (e.g. Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt, etc.), enabling them to reposition properties under strong brand banners when needed.

Today, New Castle claims a portfolio of several thousand hotel rooms across the U.S. and Canada. Their corporate strategy emphasizes operational excellence: tight cost control, centralized back-office/ shared-services support, use of business intelligence tools, and a focus on revenue/RevPAR optimization — aiming to deliver steady returns for owners while optimizing performance across diverse markets and brands.
