Peppertree Hospitality Group:
A Family Legacy of Exceptional Hospitality
Peppertree Hospitality Group (PHG) is a premier hospitality management company founded on the principles of hard work, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to success. Established in 1992 by Rita and John Santillanes, this dedicated, family-run business has grown from humble beginnings to become a leading force in the Pacific Northwest's hotel and restaurant industry.
What started as a leap of faith into the hotel business has blossomed into a thriving enterprise, with PHG now owning and operating four hotel properties across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. These include the Hotel Peppertree Bend in Bend, OR, the Best Western Plus Peppertree Airport in Spokane, WA, the Best Western Plus Peppertree Inn at Omak in Omak, WA, and the Best Western Plus Peppertree Nampa Civic Center Inn in Nampa, ID.
Beyond its hotel portfolio, PHG has diversified its offerings, managing several restaurants and retail spaces. The company's culinary ventures include the ZPizza Taproom and Junction Kitchen & Lounge, while its retail presence encompasses the Peppertree Plaza shopping center in Spokane.
how it started
At the heart of PHG's success lies a deep-rooted commitment to quality service and hospitality. Rita Santillanes, the driving force behind the company's growth, has been recognized for her entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to the industry, serving on numerous boards and advisory councils, including the Latino Hotel Association and Visit Spokane.
Complementing Rita's vision is the unwavering support of her husband, John Santillanes, who has been a steadfast partner throughout their journey. Together, they have built a company that values its people, fostering a culture of opportunity and growth for their employees.
Peppertree Hospitality Group's story is a testament to the power of perseverance, hard work, and a genuine passion for hospitality. From its humble beginnings to its current status as a respected industry leader, PHG continues to uphold the highest standards of service, professionalism, and caring – a true embodiment of the Santillanes family's enduring legacy.
