WHO WE ARE
Hotels done differently. It's not just a slogan or catchphrase, it
is who we are in everything we do. We believe in the power of
People, Place and Character; ensuring our properties are a place
where individuals are valued and celebrated as a tribute to the
neighborhoods and the people of the communities in which we
operate; elevating our associates' pride in who they are, where
they live and who we serve.
Surety Hotel is managed by Aparium Hotel Group which was founded in
2011 by Chicago hospitality executive and entrepreneur Mario
Tricoci and luxury hotel veteran Kevin Robinson. The duo saw a
clear need for a company that could bring c-suite service and
accommodations to underserved, yet distinct and important cities,
while maintaining and celebrating the unadulterated character of
each. Driven by the belief that all hospitality experiences should
be fueled by the poetics of their surroundings, Aparium was born
with an intense focus on unearthing the amazing moments unique to
every city.
Since its founding, Aparium has grown into a new kind of hotel
brand, one that ventures off the beaten path, both geographically
and philosophically. It is a sophisticated hotel brand known for
its singular ability to combine the business acumen of large
hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels, bringing
the disparate forces together in bustling, smaller markets.
