Consulting Experience

Marcus Lee, a Project Manager with the HVS office in Washington, D.C., earned hands-on knowledge of luxury hotel operations at properties across the District, as well as international markets including London and Singapore. Marcus brings this experience, along with a background in hotel finance and yield management, to every hotel consulting and valuation assignment in D.C. and the Mid-Atlantic region. From the initial site inspection to the final analysis, count on Marcus to deliver conclusions you can count on.

Marcus’ background in hospitality includes management positions with premier luxury hotels in the nation’s capital. He was formerly one of the Front Office Managers of The Jefferson Hotel, a historic boutique hotel in Washington, D.C. He also served in rooms management and guest-relations roles at the Capella (now Rosewood) and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Georgetown. He has also worked for the Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, and Novotel hotel brands. Marcus earned a BA in International Relations and History from Boston University and a Masters of Tourism and Hospitality Administration from The George Washington University.

When not at work, Marcus is drawn to the water. He has been a competitive swimmer since age six and swam for both The George Washington University and Imperial College in London; he also played Water Polo at Boston University. Ever curious about the world, Marcus enjoys traveling globally and has lived abroad in Geneva, London, and Singapore.
