Sales, Marketing & Hotel Representation
Interlude Hospitality is a dedicated sales and marketing representation firm for independent hotels and boutique collections — driving revenue, distribution, and brand visibility across every channel.
in·ter·lude
/ˈɪn.tər.luːd/ n.
A pause between two moments — brief, deliberate, and often the part that's remembered most. In hospitality, it's the difference between a stay and an experience worth returning for.
"Independent hotels deserve the same commercial firepower as the biggest brands — without losing what makes them irreplaceable."
About Us
Interlude Hospitality was built for independent hotels and boutique collections that want big-brand commercial results without surrendering their identity. We act as your outsourced sales and marketing department — deeply embedded in your property, fully accountable for your revenue performance.
Our team brings decades of hands-on experience spanning global distribution, luxury travel trade, group sales, digital marketing, and revenue strategy. We know the buyers, the platforms, and the levers — and we use all of them on your behalf.
Whether you need full-service representation or targeted support in a specific channel, we build the engagement around your property's unique commercial opportunity — not a one-size-fits-all retainer.

Learn MoreHow We Work
We don't apply generic playbooks. Every representation agreement is built around your property's competitive position, source markets, and revenue targets.
We begin with a full review of your current channel mix, rate strategy, segment performance, and competitive positioning to identify where the biggest revenue opportunities lie.
A customized commercial strategy is developed — defining target segments, source markets, channel priorities, rate architecture, and marketing investment allocation.
Our sales team goes to market on your behalf — attending trade events, conducting sales calls, managing RFPs, and building the buyer relationships that generate recurring revenue.
Paid and organic marketing campaigns are deployed across digital, social, PR, and email channels — coordinated with the sales calendar for maximum commercial impact.
Monthly performance reviews keep you informed and our strategy sharp — with transparent reporting on revenue metrics, channel performance, and pipeline activity.
Why Interlude
Building an in-house sales and marketing team takes years and significant capital. Interlude gives independent hotels immediate access to senior-level commercial expertise — without the cost, hiring risk, or ramp-up time.
Our team has held leadership roles in sales, revenue management, and marketing at independent hotels and major brands alike — we've sat on your side of the table.
We work exclusively with independent and boutique properties, so every strategy is built for your scale and identity — not adapted from a big-brand template.
We measure ourselves by your revenue results, not activity reports. Transparent monthly reporting keeps performance — and accountability — front and center.
Leadership
Silvia San Martin
Founder & Principal, Interlude Hospitality
Silvia brings more than 20 years of commercial leadership in luxury hospitality, having directed sales and marketing strategy for some of the industry's most respected brands — including Turnberry, Omni Hotels & Resorts, and Marriott International.
She most recently served as Vice President of Sales for Turnberry, overseeing top-line revenue strategy across the JW Marriott Nashville, The Seagate, and The Lake House on Canandaigua. Earlier in her career, she led the pre-opening sales strategy and launch of two landmark convention hotels — the JW Marriott Nashville and the Omni Nashville Hotel — both regarded as among the most successful openings in their brands' history. Her experience also spans brand conversions, having served as the primary liaison between ownership and Marriott International and Preferred Hotels through complex repositioning and brand transition processes.
Over her career, Silvia has generated more than $750 million in booked revenue, built and led high-performing commercial teams, and served as a trusted partner to ownership groups, brand leadership, and clients alike. She founded Interlude Hospitality to bring that same caliber of commercial strategy to independent hotels that don't yet have it in-house.
