THE COMPANY

A journey built inside hotels.

JRD Damas Assessoria e Consultoria para Hotéis was founded in 2026 to carry on a story that began in May 1998, when JRD Royal Service started providing services to Rede Sol Meliá. The same leadership, the same way of working — from inside the hotel, side by side with the owner — and a simple yet ambitious goal: to make your business more profitable and competitive.

SINCE 1998

Our story

Based in São Paulo, JRD Royal Service Assessoria e Consultoria Ltda. was founded in May 1998 as a hotel management, consulting and advisory company serving hotels and inns in the state of São Paulo and throughout Brazil, seeking to improve and ensure the viability of the business — taking on ventures from the start of the project or recovering and redirecting hotels, optimizing the physical and human structure.

Demand for the services extended to large groups such as Mondex Nobel, part of Grupo Cyrela Brasil Realty, Companhia Tropical de Hotéis, part of Grupo Varig, Bourbon Hotéis and Hotel Guarany, in Águas de Lindóia/SP. Today, under the JRD Damas brand, the work continues with the same purpose: to make your hotel a place where working — and staying — is a great pleasure.
