About Us

A highly experienced network of independent hospitality consultants providing a diversity of consulting services and expert guidance to the Hotel/Resort, Food & Beverage, Commercial Foodservice, Club and Spa, Casino and Tourism industries.

A Globally Networked Organization

Each of our consultants has held ownership, executive, and senior level positions within the vast hospitality business, and also in related industries such as real estate, development, financial services, engineering and design. Our seasoned professionals have provided services in more than 100 countries, with many spending extended periods developing strong relationships and understanding of a variety of cultures and languages.

Cayuga Hospitality consultants work independently with our clients from proposal through final project presentation and implementation, and every client has direct and immediate access to their Cayuga consultant. Given our consultants experience, they understand how to manage their assignments with the least possible interruption of an ongoing business, working effectively and efficiently with the assigned client team, and delivering superior high-impact work product to fulfill our client needs and expectations.
