About Sterling Hospitality Management

Sterling Hospitality Management and KVC Development combine to offer comprehensive hotel management and development services in the limited service sector of the lodging industry. The roots of the Sterling and KVC business philosophy stems from Kent and Cal’s father, Vern, who modeled the “hands on” approach that is carried forward today.

Our father, was very people-oriented, exhibiting sincere compassion for his employees and guests. Today, both Sterling and KVC continue to emulate this philosophy.
