Five partners. One mandate: ownership.
Black Maple is built on direct exposure to the operational, financial, strategic and development realities that shape hospitality asset performance. We do not claim advisory mandates we did not perform. We bring what we have genuinely done.

Black Maple does not claim the scale or track record of established advisory firms. What we bring is direct, recent, real-world exposure to the environments our clients operate in — and a collective perspective that sits entirely on the ownership side of every conversation.
Every engagement is partner-led.
There are no junior teams. The expertise you engage is the expertise present in every conversation.
