Ric Addison, The man behind the hugely successful Addison Hospitality Group has a very simple business model: Impeccable Service & Hospitality coupled with Innovative & Current Design. This recipe enables him to continually update his portfolio of Luxury Destinations.Ric Addison’s company gained distinction and recognition with the opening of Ava Roof Top Lounge @Dream Hotel in 2002, starting the NYC Rooftop Lounge trend while continuing to remain one of NYC’s hottest Hotel Nightlife destinations today. With the opening of Ava, the challenge was to bring a large number of guests daily to a venue with no outside street signs and required an elevator up 15 floors. A front page lifestyle story on Ava's opening in USA Today and The New York Times in addition to being honored as "Best After Work" Drink spot by New York Magazine's Best of New York helped put Ava on the map and the blue chip corporate clients and celebrities quickly made Ava one of the most sought after venues in New York City. Prior to Ava’s opening, Ric Addison has collaborated with such Hotel & Nightlife legends as Ian Shrager, and Rande Gerber. Most recently, Ric added the low-key, chic Lounge & Restaurant THE BAR @Dream Hotel and The Inc Lounge at The Time Hotel which has become a Broadway Celebrity hotspot that recently hosted Lady Gaga and Madonna in the VIP “Pool Room”.Under Ric Addison’s leadership, Addison Hospitality Group currently has a long history of valued customer relations with city’s top tier industries like fashion, finance, media, law firms, entertainment and sports networks.
