The people and the thinking behind Marnova Hospitality
A new star in global hospitality, where genuine welcome and quiet intelligence work as one.
Marnova Hospitality is a Bangkok headquartered management and franchise company for independent and boutique hotels worldwide. We partner with owners who want stronger returns without handing over their identity or paying global brand fees, covering operations, commercial, marketing and guest experience, with our own system at the centre.
Built on hospitality, run on intelligence.
Warmth and craft
A house built on a service culture of genuine welcome, the standard every property inherits.
Marnova
A fresh chapter under a new name, positioned for owners, asset managers and investors rather than the crowd.
PATMOS678 OS
Our own hotel operating system, built in-house so that no property runs on rented software.
Owners first
A lighter fee structure, hands-on operators wherever the hotel is, and one partner for every service it needs.
Four values, every property.
Service excellence
Exceeding guest expectations at every touchpoint, every day.
Integrity
Trust, transparency and ethical partnership, always.
Innovation
AI native technology, forever improving.
Sustainability
Responsible operations that protect local culture and environment.
One team. One standard.
Leadership, technology, operations, development, sales and brand, everything a property needs from its partner.
A prolific entrepreneur, businessman and visionary with a keen interest in hospitality. Marcus leads Marnova with strategic thinking, sharp decision making and strong investor relationships, protecting and growing every owner’s asset.
Chairman of PATMOS678 OS and the technology mind behind it. Melvin brings intelligent systems new to hospitality, built to lift operations and maximise the owner’s return on investment.
& Interim General Manager
Twenty five years in luxury hospitality and commercial operations. Shaine shapes how each property performs, sharpening operations, guest experience and revenue so owners see stronger, more consistent returns.
Takes a property from drawing board to opening day: site and feasibility review, design and technical input, and project delivery on the ground. Noppadon protects the owner’s capital in the phase where most of it is spent.
Leads global sales and the loyalty programme: corporate, MICE and travel trade accounts across source markets, and the repeat direct business that cuts commission and steadies occupancy for owners.
Runs Marnova’s marketing, and makes the work himself: photography, videography, graphic design, video content and social media. Pasindu turns each property into the images and film that sell it, carrying one standard across every channel.
Plain numbers, plain dealing.
One partner
Management, brand, distribution, marketing and technology. One team, one point of contact, one report.
Lighter fee burden
Of room revenue, against 10% to 14% with the global brands. Full fees are disclosed in the actual contract. This is an indication only and subject to change.
Loss of identity
Your name, a soft brand, or ours. The property’s character stays where it belongs, with the owner.
Four steps, no surprises.
A clear route from a first conversation to a property running on our system, with the fees and the scope set out before anything is signed.
Conversation
Tell us about the property, where it sits today and what you want it to become.
Assessment
We review the operation, the numbers and the market, and show you what we would change.
Proposal
A management or franchise structure with the fees, the scope and the branding route set out plainly.
Handover
We move the property onto PATMOS678 OS, settle the team, and start reporting from day one.
