DKN Hotels Celebrates Its 35th Anniversary

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- DKN Hotels, a premier hotel management company located in Southern California, celebrates its 35th anniversary tomorrow. Over the last three+ decades, DKN has managed, owned, repositioned, re-branded and built forty-eight different hotel properties, earning the organization a reputation as specialists in the hospitality industry. The company's values driven approach and unique focus on a philosophy of balance has allowed the original team of just three people to grow to over five hundred happy, engaged team members.
Founding members Dahya, Kiran and Neil started DKN Hotels in 1984 with the acquisition of two independent properties in Southern California – the Surf Motel, located in Carlsbad, CA and the Marco Polo Motel in Anaheim, CA. These two ordinary motels soon delivered world-class service at an unbeatable price. This focus on exceptional service inspired the first element of what would soon become DKN's three-legged stool approach to business, an approach which emphasizes an equal focus on customer service, financial success and team members. This balanced view of business was a realization of CEO Kiran Dahya's vision for the future of DKN and is now foundational to the company and a cornerstone of its well-regarded culture.
"I wanted to build a company that is centered around people, that empowers each one, and that has values as a guide," said Kiran. "I firmly believe that we have gotten to this place thirty-five years later because of our culture and our people."
With a current portfolio of owned and third-party managed select and full service properties along with an additional six hotels under construction, DKN continues to create a lasting legacy based on an exemplary vision. This vision will ensure the continued success of DKN Hotels for another thirty-five years and beyond.
