BETHESDA, Md.--()--Curator Hotel & Resort Collection (“Curator”), a distinct collection of independent hotels and resorts, proudly announces the addition of four new members to its growing portfolio of stunning properties and unique experiences across the United States. The new member properties include an art-filled sanctuary in the vibrant city of Richmond, Virginia, a historic retreat in the heart of Texas hill country, a lodge-style experience in Branson, Missouri, and a perfect mix of small-town charm and modern amenities in Parker, Colorado.

“We are excited to continue building and expanding relationships with unique, independent properties across premier US travel destinations,” said Jennifer Barnwell, president of Curator Hotel & Resort Collection. “Whether fully operational or in various stages of development, Curator’s suite of solutions and offerings can benefit any hotel or resort property, helping them optimize operations and allocate more resources to focus on creating unforgettable guest experiences and perfecting the 'stay of the art.'”

The newest members of Curator Hotel & Resort Collection include:

Quirk Richmond (Richmond, Virginia): Built in 1916, the Quirk Hotel was once J.B. Mosby & Co. Dry Goods Store with an Italian Renaissance design, filled with natural light and historic charm. In 2005, owners Katie and Ted Ukrop converted a portion of the ground floor into the Quirk Gallery, an offbeat hub showcasing local and regional artists. And in 2015, they turned it into a boutique hotel where they could attract local artists and guests. The 73 guest rooms and suites are thoughtfully designed with local artwork, ensuring a one-of-a-kind experience for each guest. Quirk Richmond allows guests to discover local artists throughout the boutique space and enjoy thoughtfully crafted meals from local ingredients. The hotel is in the heart of one of Richmond’s most dynamic neighborhoods and offers easy access to various attractions and shopping destinations. Don't miss The Q Rooftop, recognized as "One of the 10 Best Rooftop Bars in the U.S." (2016) by Condé Nast Traveler.

Albert Hotel (Fredericksburg, Texas): An Honest Hill Country Getaway, Albert Hotel is located in Fredericksburg, Texas and features four late-19th century buildings and a newly constructed hotel with event and restaurant space, and a spa. Tucked away behind the original historic buildings, the property creates a peaceful escape with quiet sophistication just off bustling Main Street. The hotel has 109 guest rooms, including bunkrooms, suites, and a private house; three restaurants, two bars and a full-service spa. Albert Hotel is slated to open later this year.

The Ozarker Lodge (Branson, Missouri): Recognized as one of the “Top 10 Best New Hotels Across the US in 2024”, The Ozarker Lodge® is the first authentic boutique hotel experience in its region. The Ozarker brings back the nostalgia of family road trips, the thrill of outdoor adventure, and the charm of an evening by the creek. The hotel offers renovated rooms with vintage-themed décor, an outdoor pool, creekside soaking tubs, an onsite coffee, wine and cocktail bar, a mercantile shop, outdoor adventures, and much more. Conveniently located in the heart of Branson, this hotel provides guests with a unique, modern way to experience the Ozarks.
