In 1948, Herbert and Frances (Lengfeld) Meyer, the founders of Meyer Motels, Ltd. (now known as Meyer Crest, Ltd.), purchased their first motel in Red Bluff, California. Since then, the Meyer family has owned and operated as many as 45 hotels in three Western states. Herb, a transplanted New Yorker, was a highly self-motivated man with strong aspirations. The motel business provided him with outlets for his creative energy and aspirations. Fran provided support and guidance, contributing her ideas and maintaining the accounting for the family business while also raising their four children. Throughout their younger years, all the children were involved in the family business in varying degrees.

In 1984, Morgans Hotel Group developed its first property, Morgans on Madison Avenue in New York City. An instant hit, the hotel revolutionized the hospitality industry with the introduction of the “Boutique Hotel” concept, characterized by personalized service and home-away-from-home ambiance in a setting of timeless elegance. This boutique concept was again showcased with great success at New York's Royalton, the first property designed by Philippe Starck; Royalton has since been given a dramatic redesign by New York based designers, Roman and Williams.
