About us

Everything we do is done ‘The Hi West Way’, challenging what has gone before and always looking for ways to excel.

Our Vision

Since our inception in 2013, our goal has been to push, stretch and redefine the boundaries of the hospitality industry. We do not accept the status quo; we challenge traditional thinking. When we innovate, we do so with intention.

OUR APPROACH

Every detail of every project is carefully considered - right down to the choice of bulbs in our bedside lamps. 

The Hi West way is adopted by everyone from our board members to those managing our day to day operations at our sites as a result of our thorough induction and training programmes.

We employ locally, using the local supply chain wherever possible and aim to leave a lasting legacy in the communities we work. 

We check in with ourselves regularly to make sure we are meeting our promise to adhere to The Hi West Way. It's not just our way; it's everyone's way.
