Our founder, Rob Blood, purchased his first property at the age of 28 in Kennebunkport, Maine. Eighteen years of extremely hands-on experience later, he’s built Lark into a network designed to grow and support experiential, design-driven independent-spirited hotels across America. Formally founded in 2012 and buoyed by a team of equally hotel-obsessed experts, Lark Hotels is a haven for properties that break the mold and reflect the character of their setting.

We’re in a truly unique position to understand the challenges you’re facing as an owner today, and the ones you’ll confront in the future—and absorb the responsibilities that come with the solutions. Our model is based on bringing our hard-won lessons to bear in every scenario, so together we can open a financially viable hotel that feels like a well-oiled machine on day one—and only gets better from there. With over 30 hotels, and several restaurants, we’re just getting started.
