Our History

Committed to excellence in hospitality development, management and leadership, Raldex Hospitality has been a proven leader in the hospitality industry since 1993. Headquartered in Florence, South Carolina, Raldex currently operates 5 successful hotels under 4 brand names: Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn & Suites, Holiday Inn Express & Suites, and Staybridge Suites.

Raldex Hospitality was formed in 1993 with the purchase of 2 hotels, Hampton Inn and a Super 8. Between 1994 and 1995, the Company added both a Holiday Inn Express and a Best Western to its portfolio. In these early years, Raldex acquired the foundation and techniques required to become a leader in the hospitality industry. With the operation of these hotels over the course of 10 years, the owners, management and team were convinced that they could offer the traveler a superior product while providing an excellent value. These ideas led to a restructuring within the Company in 2004. At this time, the Super 8 and Best Western were sold to allow for planning and construction of a new Hilton Garden Inn and Holiday Inn Express & Suites. Because the efforts of everyone involved in these hotels proved to be so successful and the guest reviews for each property were so astonishing, Raldex decided to add an additional Hampton Inn & Suites to its list of hotels. Construction began in 2007and this hotel opened December 19, 2008. In an effort to add the extended stay market in our portfolio of successful hotels, we began construction of our Staybridge Suites in 2016. Our hotels continue to win awards as top hotels in their Brand and also provide Florence, South Carolina with comfortable and impressive guest rooms for each traveler that enters our doors.

Our future looks bright ahead with the possibilities of developing more hotels to provide each guest with the hospitality they desire. Our commitment to aggressive growth ensures that we always have a place where satisfied guests return and all team members are rewarded for their hard work.
