A solid foundation
Co-founded by Dan Davidson and Holly Breuche, Sandstone is built upon 50+ years of combined experience. Dan, with his multimillion-dollar luxury travel agency, and Holly, after having successfully opened, rebranded, and operated dozens of prestigious lifestyle hotels, established Sandstone to address a specific challenge in the hospitality space: the scale of mega group travel.
Having overseen Revenue Management and also having served as both a Director of Sales and Marketing and as General Manager at multiple properties, Holly can quickly determine what is important to a hotel. Dan’s perspective comes from the opposite side of the table. His credibility is firmly established—Magellan is one of the largest producers of room nights in New York City. His remarkable success is founded on decades of strategic planning and effective negotiations.
Compounded with deep-seated industry relationships, this understanding enables Sandstone to create unprecedented value. Our extensive personal and professional networks, honed carefully over decades, empowers us to create structures that support success on all sides.
Corporate travel and mega-group bookings are significantly more complex in nature. Joining forces, Sandstone’s founders make full use of their backgrounds, harnessing longstanding connections and a profound understanding of the lodging landscape, to deliver valuable solutions for both clients and partner hotels through negotiation services and global site placement.
