What Makes the Coho Oceanfront Lodge Unique?

May 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Best Practices:  We combine the best practices of major hotel chains with intimate and personalized touches of a small luxury boutique hotel.  The Coho is operated by VIP Hospitality Inc., a hotel management and development company with 75+ years in combined hospitality industry experience.  Our mission is to provide the most comfortable, memorable, and fun-filled stay for our guests by providing exceptional service and a picture-perfect setting which includes our beautifully renovated rooms.  VIP Hospitality operates under the following guiding principles:

Vision:   Today, more than ever, the lodging industry is saturated with cookie-cutter brands looking to offer their products/services to the mass with little differentiation.  We strive to be a visionary in the industry by providing a unique product and service that our customers desire and our employees feel proud being a part of.
Integrity:   We truly believe the most profitable business practice over the long- run is to do all things with integrity and live out the following biblical verse:  “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Luke 6:31)

Passion:  We love what we do and will strive to show our passion through the products and services offered.  Ultimately, we are not in a room rental-business but in the business of creating lasting memories. Passion will shine through our employee’s’ friendliness and smiles, cleanliness and crispness of our facilities, and creativity of our services offering.

We are a member of the Oregon Q Care program with 100% of our front desk associates having successfully gone through the quality certification process.

Renovation and Repositioning:  In 2006, the owners made a commitment to fully renovate and reposition the property into a boutique hotel.  The Coho always had amazing views, but the facilities were starting to tire.  Over the next several years, after thorough research, careful planning and several million dollars, The Coho was reborn and is today considered one of the best hotels in the Pacific Northwest.

Décor:  Modern retro touches with warm coastal palettes and unique local flavors.  Luxury touches abound, such as large stone gas fireplaces, 32” LCD HDTV, Lumicor glass panels, granite-top vanity, imported tiles from Italy, and comfortable deep-seated lounge chairs. Adorned on the guestroom walls are colorful pictures of sea corals and other sea life.
Concept:  An upscale boutique hotel with exceptional finishes, breathtaking views, and down-to-earth personalized service.
