DALLAS, TX (February 21, 2023) – Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI), a luxury global sales organization spanning the spectrum of hospitality, today announced a strategic partnership with ROH, Carats & Cake’s parent company, which is the first purpose-built revenue optimization platform for hospitality groups. The partnership facilitates a direct connection between ALHI’s premier luxury properties and ROH’s proptech solution that addresses the demand for efficiency across marketing, sales, and finance within hospitality.
The partnership is an expansion to Destination Weddings by ALHI, which represents a carefully curated portfolio of independent, luxury resorts and hotels worldwide.

Through adoption of ROH, property managers spearheading social events, including weddings, can further benefit from preferred pricing and exclusive access to Carats & Cake’s dedicated marketing channel that reaches 100 million+ consumers and industry professionals.
“As the premier luxury hotel member representation company, ALHI has continued to look at the best luxury strategic partners,” said Michael Dominguez, President, and CEO of ALHI. “In 2021 we launched Destination Weddings by ALHI to support the sales effort of our member hotels and we couldn’t be more excited to enter a partnership with ROH as its reputation and place in the hospitality industry is unmatched.”
The partnership forges a deeper affiliation between ALHI’s 250 luxury properties and ROH’s purpose-built software solutions that serve the very specific needs of the industry. The partnership will bring:
Meaningful Luxury Synergy – An integration between two innovative companies focused on delivering high quality experiences to the property management teams and ultimately the customers these properties serve.
