Founded in 1989, Prohotel International recognized that many small luxury properties were not being properly promoted in North American and Latin America and effectively responded to the growing need to service this niche market. In 2001, Prohotel expanded to include operating and management services for luxury properties and has since set its sights on becoming the best in its field, with clients in the Americas and Europe.

Prohotel's knowledge of the industry and sensitivity to the the upscale clients needs has gained the company recognition and respect worldwide.

Prohotel International is the creation of Samir Saab. In 1989, in response to his realization that many small, luxury properties were not receiving adequate promotion in North America, Mr. Saab created the full-service marketing group, focusing on branding and marketing small, independent luxury properties worldwide. Mr. Saab oversees the entire operation of Prohotel International, including consulting on new projects with regards to concept, design and operational procedures; consulting with architects to ensure properties exceed industry standards; creating property names, tag lines and guidelines; as well as establishing hotel rates, developing ten year projections and working with public relations to secure media exposure.
