RAM Hotels, led by CEO Rinkesh Patel and COO Mitesh Patel, recently broke ground on a 129-key AC Hotel by Marriott in Auburn, Alabama. This luxury property, set to open in the fourth quarter of 2025, will feature a ground-floor bar and lounge and a rooftop bar.

"This groundbreaking is a huge milestone for us," said Rinkesh Patel. "We had plans for this site back in February 2020, just before everything shut down. We stayed focused and made it happen, and now we're excited to build a hotel that Auburn will be proud of."

Founded in 2002, Columbus-based RAM Hotels has built 19 hotels from the ground up and currently operates 27 hotels across Georgia and Alabama. They are experienced in partnering with major brands like Marriott, Hilton, and IHG Hotels & Resorts. RAM Hotels has 14 other hotels in active development, with a total project cost exceeding $220 million.

This groundbreaking event comes amid a renewed presence and re-engagement of Marriott International at AAHOACON24.

This partnership reflects the Patel brothers' commitment to fostering strong industry relationships while delivering exceptional hospitality experiences.
