Amit, Aashish, Hansa, and George break ground on two new Hilton hotels in Pompano Beach
The Patel Story
In the 1970s, George and Hansa Patel immigrated to the United States from rural India. They built a new life for themselves in Orlando while they raised two sons, Aashish and Amit.
The family worked their way from hotel janitors to managers, from American dreamers to American business owners. With industry experience and hard work, they purchased their first hotel.
After Aashish received his Bachelor's degree from the University of Indiana in 2004, he returned to Florida to help expand the family's operations beyond lodging to airboat tours in Everglades City, an area which reminded the Patels of the beautiful countryside of their hometown in India.
Today, George, Hansa, Aashish, and Amit live in Fort Myers and own over a dozen tour, lodging, foodservice, event, and real estate companies in South Florida.
