The World of Hospitality Business


Whether you like to lay out on the beach, golf, fish, ski/snowboard or even paintball Discovery Land Company most likely can meet your needs. This company strives to create some of the most luxurious private country clubs in the world and due to the fact that 16 of their 18 projects are considered world-class they clearly have succeeded.

Discovery was founded in 1994 by Michael Melman and is based out of Scottsdale, Arizona where their first club, Estancia is located. Being from Scottsdale myself I have known the vice-president of this company (Steve Adelson) for most of my life and have been fortunate enough to visit a few of these beautiful clubs. In respects to the high class lifestyle provided by Discovery it comes to know surprise that memberships at such places are extremely high priced.

According to the sixth edition of the book Introduction to Hospitality Business all hotels are graded on a scale from 1-5 diamonds. A one-diamond hotels are simple buildings usually set up along side highways to meet travelers basic needs while a five-diamond hotel like all of discoveries properties are defined for having the highest levels of service, sophistication, and offerings.
