Established during the early 1900s by father and son duo Frank and Don Ayres, the Ayres Collection started with a Los Angeles development that steadily grew over various areas.

Built and grown through friendly and efficient service staff, the Ayres Collection invests on a supportive organizational culture that translates to quality services for their clientele. The business however didn’t start primarily as a hotel. Instead, its founder started with property development, buying a huge tract of land and paving the way towards development of family homes, apartments, and commercial units. In fact, Ayres and son were partially credited for the creation of a business district that helped minimize the impact of the Great Depression.

The Ayres Hotel brand as a hospitality management company really started in 2001 with the Ayres Hotel Laguna Woods, Ayres Hotel Seal Beach, and the Ayres Hotel Anaheim. These hotels are characterized by their European-inspired décor with a homey-atmosphere and a lobby that resembles your typical upper class living room.

Today, the Ayres chain has made its mark in several locations including Central Coast, Inland Empire, Orange County, Central Coast, San Diego, and Los Angeles. In 2002, they became the recipient of the Orange County Business Journal Family Owned Business Award.
