Why Us | Cara Hotels

Cara Hotels is an independent hotel owner and operator established in 1995 to address a vital need in the regional hospitality industry. Recognizing the demand for guest-centric properties designed specifically for the needs of regional and international business travelers, founders Shaun McGrath and Paul Stephenson created Cara Hotels to offer a unique blend of exceptional service and personalized hospitality. The name "Cara," derived from the Irish word for "friend," reflects the company’s ethos of fostering meaningful connections with every guest.
