ATLANTA—Hospitality Ventures Management Group (HVMG), a privately owned hotel ownership and management firm based in Atlanta, announced that it has assumed management of the 241-room Sheraton Read House located in downtown Chattanooga, Tenn. HVMG now has a portfolio of 42 hotels located in 17 states.
