The hotel solutions expert connecting organizations with group bookings around the world, at rates you won’t find anywhere else.

Core Services

In hotels, experience is everything. Let’s make it a memorable one.

Consultation

Every hotel group booking is bespoke, and every negotiation is different. Did you know there are at least 60 negotiable items in group booking? Knowing rooms-to-space ratios, rates, profit centers, and more is what I’m here to help you with. Reach out for a consultation and we’ll define your needs.

Site Selection

Every conference or event has its own list of hotel considerations. Choosing the best site comes down to details most don’t know to consider. Send me the information, I’ll issue an RFP, book site tours with top contenders, and support you in choosing the best possible hotel site.

Group Booking

I connect you with insider group booking rates at the very best hotels around the world. I’ll engage the hotels that best suit your needs, help you understand risks in the proposed contracts, and negotiate to protect your interests. The chosen hotel pays my fee, which means you do not.

About Stephen Ing

Who I am,
and what I do.

I seek out the experience of impeccable, kind, joyful service not just for clients, but for their guests too, because I believe in hospitality—there’s a reason I’ve made it my career.

Backed by the powerhouse of HMI (Hotel Management International), and with over thirty years of experience in global luxury hotels, the hospitality industry is my home. Understanding every moving part in a hotel means I know exactly how much can be negotiated, how to minimize liabilities, and how to create the best experience for my clients. Think of me like a home-buying agent for hotel group bookings. When the contract is signed, my work is paid for by the hotel, not the client.

I’m Stephen Ing, and this is what I do.
