We are so proud of our team at Lantern for becoming the highest-rated hotel in Columbia, SC! Have you had a chance to visit?
CLIENT IN THE NEWS: Six months after opening in a converted downtown firehouse, Raines Company's Lantern Columbia says it has become the highest-rated hotel in Columbia, SC, on Google and Expedia. The property's leaders attribute the success to a workforce that operates differently from many hotels — from laundry and the front desk to the kitchen at its Ladder 13 restaurant.

Don't miss David Tart's most recent appearance on Teague Talks. David goes into detail about his background and developing The Lantern Hotel in Columbia!
What happens when a hotel is built to change lives, not just turn a profit? That question is at the heart of our latest Teague Talks conversation with David Tart, developer and partner at Raines Company. Teague and David sit down inside The Lantern Hotel, a historic Columbia, South Carolina fire station reimagined into a mission driven hotel, where nearly a third of the team is made up of individuals with special needs through a partnership with the University of South Carolina's LIFE program. One observation from David stood out: "This isn't a non-profit, it's a profitable business. This isn't a trend. This is something that should be sustainable." It's not about choosing between purpose and profit - it's about proving they can build each other, and how hospitality has a real opportunity to create independence for the people behind the front desk. A thoughtful conversation for anyone developing, operating, or investing in hotels. Watch the full episode: https://lnkd.in/eawd2bSa Stay tuned for next week's Teague Walks, where Teague tours The Lantern Hotel and uncovers the people and partnerships that make it so special. #HunterAdvisors
