Family History

AJ Patel, President & CEO, created JSK Hospitality and Development companies to both build and manage their private portfolio of 15 Marriott, Hilton, and IHG Hotels.

AJ’s background in engineering from Purdue University has lent to the company’s great success in both hotel design and development. Over the years, he has worked his way up in the family business by working multiple hourly positions within the family’s hotels. AJ continues to maintain the same hands on approach that has helped him grow the business. His focus remains in the small details of the business that he continues to oversee. It is not uncommon for AJ to be found interacting at the property level.
