Denihan Hospitality Group

Denihan Hospitality Group is a family-owned American hotel and hotel management company based in New York City. Founded in 1963 by Benjamin J. Denihan, Jr., the company is now led by siblings and co-CEOs Patrick Denihan and Brooke Barrett. DHG is no longer the owner of the Affinia and The James hotel brands, as well as three independent properties: The Benjamin, The Surrey, and The Carlton. The company has plans to open the James Los Angeles-West Hollywood hotel in 2016. Since 2016, they’ve lost all of their properties.

The Surrey was bought from Denihan Hospitality Group. The hotel was purchased by the Reuben Brothers in December 2020.

Denihan Hospitality Group acquired the Beverly in 1997 and renovated it over the next two years, renaming the hotel the Benjamin. The hotel was again renovated between 2010 and 2013, and Sonesta International Hotels acquired the Benjamin in 2021.

Denihan Hospitality Group no longer holds any ownership stake in the hotel formerly known as the Carlton Hotel, now operating as Hotel Seville NoMad.

In June 2020, GFI Capital Resources Group acquired a 61% majority stake in the hotel, with Denihan retaining a minority share at that time. However, in April 2025, Hyatt Hotels Corporation acquired the hotel and rebranded it as Hotel Seville NoMad. This acquisition marked the end of Denihan’s involvement with the property.
