Welcome to the newest episode of Icons and Experts, brought to you twice a month in partnership with the Extended Stay Lodging Association (www.esla.org).

Every other week we highlight either a person who's had unmistakable impact on the extended stay hotel industry, or we'll learn from extended stay experts how to maximize opportunity and find success in the extended stay hotel category.

On this episode we feature Mark Laport the man behind Concord Hospitality, https://www.concordhotels.com. Laport founded Concord Hospitality Enterprises Company in 1985. Concord has since become one of the largest hotel companies in north America both owning and managing hotels, as well as developing them.
