Investment: The PFO Way

The Patel Family Office is a privately held, third-generation entrepreneur-run family office with over 70 years of history. The family started with cotton syndication in Manchester, UK, and then transitioned to the department store business, eventually building a chain of over 30 stores by 1986. After exiting the UK business, the family replicated it in the US, eventually acquired motels, and transitioned from single hotel owners to portfolio owners.

Today, we are one of the oldest hospitality families in the United States with decades of experience developing 50+, owning 400+, and managing 500+ hotel properties across all segments. Beyond hospitality, we have invested in other US real estate assets including multifamily housing, and have ventured into other sectors including healthcare, technology, fintech, edtech, media, and entertainment. To date, we have invested in over 600 companies and currently hold investments in over 200 entrepreneurial ventures.
