unrepeatable properties
by design
Our properties capture the essence of a special place – its people, its character, its stories, its heartbeat – and amplify these qualities into experiences that simply can’t be found anywhere else.
How the Marchbanks company Shaped One of the Hospitality industry's Most Influential Brands
Founded in 2006 by Liz Lambert, Greg Marchbanks, and Bill Gernstein, Bunkhouse Management emerged to put its own stamp on boutique hospitality through small-scale, experiential properties with deep contextual roots. The company built its reputation on design excellence, thoughtful experience curation, and distinctive brand development—shaping properties like Hotel San José, Hotel Saint Cecilia, Austin Motel, Hotel San Cristobal, Hotel Magdalena, and Hotel Saint Augustine into sought-out destinations.Standard Hotels acquired majority control in 2015, recognizing Bunkhouse's unique approach to place-making. Hyatt later acquired both companies in 2024. Today, The Marchbanks Company continues to partner with Bunkhouse, as the developer and asset manager of select Bunkhouse-managed properties—bringing together our strategic guidance with their focus on experiential hospitality.
