DKN Hotels

36 years ago, the incredible DKN Hotels journey began at the seaside Surf Motel in Carlsbad, CA. Today, the new 104-room SpringHill Suites San Diego Carlsbad stands on the same spot and is now officially open! The adventure continues with this amazing team, who are ready to provide future guests a true home away from home experience. #hotelnews

What better way to start the day than seeing that warm Carlsbad sun shining down on the new SpringHill Suites By Marriott San Diego Carlsbad? We're getting closer and closer to opening its doors and welcoming guests!

The DKN flag has returned to its travels! This time the flag made it all the way to 13,380 ft. on Vagabond Peak in the Sierras thanks to our team member, David Martinez. #DKNProud #hotels

Exceedingly proud of our front desk team at DoubleTree San Bernardino for recently winning the 2019 DoubleTree by Hilton Front Desk Award for outstanding performance based on guest reviews. We encourage everyone to visit and experience the warm welcome! #hotelnews

Well, hello there! The sign is up and we are that much closer to the opening of our new SpringHill Suites San Diego Carlsbad!

Coming soon to Carlsbad, CA - our new Springhill Suites San Diego Carlsbad - just steps to the beach and Carlsbad Village! Hotel GM Cherie just had to check out the incredible rooftop views during her last visit. Come check them out for yourself when we open!

Congrats to the Beachfront Inn & Suites on winning our 2019 DKN Hotels Renegades Rising award! This property had the biggest increase in positive reviews among other reputation management metrics. Congrats, team!

We had 3 team members who celebrated their anniversaries with DKN this month! Angie, our HR director, celebrated 5 years, Charlie, our operations support manager, celebrated 14 years, and Amy, our Residence Inn Rancho Cucamonga GM, celebrated 9 years with us. Happy Anniversary to you all. We're lucky to have you!

At the Hilton conference last month, our Homewood Suites Irvine team was awarded the 2019 Conrad Achievement Award! Out of 503 properties, this hotel was in the top 5% of the brand for outstanding performance. Congrats, team!

Our sales team had an amazing time at their annual sales outing last week! The team earned a fun day out of the office for not only meeting but surpassing their financial goals for 2019. The team took the train up to Santa Barbara for a day of exploring and adventure!

Yesterday, Jing celebrated a total of 5 years with DKN! Jing was originally with us for 3 years and we were lucky enough to get her back 2 years ago. Jing now works in accounts receivable for our operations team. Thanks for all you do for DKN, Jing! We're lucky to have you.

Yesterday we held a little pick up basketball game with our DKN family at the Homewood Suites Irvine in celebration of Kobe's life and legacy. Thanks for being an inspiration to us all. You will be missed.

Today, Emerson and Billy are both celebrating 2 years with DKN! Emerson is a project manager for our Design & Construction department and Billy does IT support for our portfolio of hotels and the Support Center. Both Billy and Emerson work at the Support Center, but you can often find them out visiting our various properties and construction sites in SoCal. Thanks for all that you both do for DKN!

A big congratulations to Victoria K. on winning our Very Merry Disney Giveaway! We hope you enjoy your Disney passes!

On this day 35 years ago, the DKN Hotels journey began with a 3 person team and a sweet little motel by the seaside in Carlsbad, CA. That original 3 person team - Dahya, Kiran, and Neil - is now 500 happy, engaged team members, and that sweet little motel is our soon to be Springhill Suites San Diego Carlsbad, the 49th property in a 3+ decades list of hotels DKN has owned, managed, re-branded, and re-positioned. Cheers to 35 years and many many more to come!

Our lovely ladies of the Support Center had a much needed day of relaxation at the Glenn Ivy Hot Springs and Spa on Monday. They loved getting to spend some time together before the craziness of the holidays!

Our team member, Maria, flying the DKN flag high all the way from the Tienanmen Square! Our team loves getting to experience new places and cultures. #IdRatherBeAtDKNHotels
