STEM® was founded in 2011 by Robert van Eerde as a “Hands On” Consulting company. The company was founded at that time because there was a clear need for support and guidance for the smaller independent hotel market who were struggling to survive due to a stalling economy worldwide.
The company has since evolved in a hotel management company dedicating and specializing only in true boutique hotels. A first property was established in China where it is now busy and successful building a reputation in a new flourishing market. The company added to it’s profile in Miami Beach USA and aded a first property in Central America in 2018 in Belize and is now aiming to expanding in this area.
STEM’s aim is to be the solution for those hotel owners who do not want to be involved in the day to day management of their property but still will enjoy the relationship with the property but is financially secure and in safe hands
The company intends not to create a huge corporate structure but a lean and affective one. The success relies on effective management at hotel property and to spread the costs as much as possible using the family of hotels as much as possible.
Every STEM® True Boutique Hotel is a Lifestyle Hotel.
But not Every Lifestyle Hotel is a STEM® True Boutique Hotel.
