Highgate

2,600+ backpacks. Thousands of reasons to be proud. One Highgate team making a difference. This is what People First looks like.

2,600+ backpacks. One incredible Highgate effort. This year, hotels from every Highgate region came together for Operation Backpack 2026, supporting Volunteers of America - Greater New York— and we didn’t just meet our goal, we surpassed it. 🎒 2,600+ backpacks donated 🎯 Goal of 1,900 — exceeded Most importantly, these backpacks will help children experiencing homelessness head back to school with the supplies they need and the confidence to start the year strong. A huge thank you to our Highgate teams across the country who donated, organized, packed, and made this possible. And a special thank you to Quimby Hightower and Tyler J Cathcart for leading the charge and helping bring this incredible effort to life. This is what happens when our people come together to make an impact in the communities we serve. #WeareHighgate #OperationBackpack #MakeYourMark #CommunityImpact #GivingBack

Today, we celebrate an incredible group of interns as they complete their last week at Highgate I LOVE HOTELS internship journey. Throughout the summer, they brought fresh ideas, enthusiasm, curiosity, and purpose to our hotels and teams. They came ready to learn, but along the way, they inspired us as well. Their contributions have made a meaningful impact, and we are grateful for the energy and passion they brought to Highgate each day. While their internships may be coming to an end, this is only the beginning of what is ahead. We are confident that these talented emerging leaders will help shape the future of hospitality—and we hope many of them will become the next generation and new face of Highgate. To our interns: thank you for sharing your talents with us, embracing every opportunity, and bringing our value of Putting People First to life. We are incredibly proud of you and cannot wait to see where your journeys take you next. Congratulations, Class of 2026! #Wearehighgate #HighgateInterns #FutureLeaders #HospitalityCareers #PuttingPeopleFirst #ILOVEhotels

Yesterday marked the official launch of the Highgate Charitable Foundation campaign, and it stands as a powerful reminder of what defines us as an organization. Across every region and every hotel, our teams continue to demonstrate an extraordinary blend of creativity, compassion, and unwavering purpose. This is Highgate at its finest. At Highgate, caring is at the core of our company culture, and we work each day to instill a spirit of giving back into everything we do. In 2018, we established the Highgate Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity, to expand our ability to be a positive force in the lives of people near and far. The Foundation serves as a meaningful vehicle for our associates, guests, suppliers, and business partners to contribute to efforts that promote global good—supporting philanthropic organizations and communities worldwide addressing poverty, education, and health care. Our People First values anchor this work. They remind us that meaningful change often begins with small acts of generosity. In fact, the cost of a single cup of coffee is sometimes all it takes to feed a child for an entire day. This simple truth underscores the profound impact we can make—when each of us chooses to act. This season, Highgate once again stands united behind an ambitious $1.5M goal. And we know it is attainable. Our summer campaign proved what is possible when we move with intention, rally around a shared mission, and channel our collective strength toward something bigger than ourselves. As we move forward from yesterday’s kickoff, let us carry this momentum with purpose, conviction, and compassion. Are you ready to Make Your Mark? Together, we are positioned to create a deeper, more lasting impact—one meaningful act, one generous moment, one “cup of coffee” at a time. #WeAreHighgate #MakeYourMark #PeopleFirst
