“Our ties to Gainesville conjure up feelings of nostalgia,” shares Azim Saju, co-founder and vice president of HDG Hotels. “My brother and our CEO Navroz Saju and I both spent time here as students. Before he moved to Georgetown for law school, I lived with Navroz while he began his undergraduate studies at the University of Florida. I was finishing high school in Gainesville at the time. After college, I returned to Gainesville and became a UF alum as well, graduating from UF’s Levin College of Law. Gainesville holds a special place in our hearts and we look forward to positively impacting this community.”
“With an existing footprint of hotels that accounts for 1,787 rooms throughout North Central and Central Florida, we are excited to be in a position to once again invest in this region,” says Navroz Saju. “The Comfort Suites of Gainesville is a beautiful property. We look forward to having the opportunity to now take care of those staying in Gainesville – a community that has played such a significant part in our lives.”
