MMI Hotel Group (a operating division of MMI Hospitality Group) is a Ridgeland, Mississippi-based hotel management, development, and hospitality investment enterprise founded in 1956 by Micajah Sturdivant Jr. and Earle Jones. Operating for 70 years as a third-generation, family-owned firm, the company functions under the executive leadership of Chief Executive Officer Micajah Sturdivant IV. The enterprise specializes in full-service property management, brand positioning, site selection, franchise negotiations, asset management, capital restructuring, and hospitality advisory. Operating across multiple specialized hospitality verticals—including MMI Hotel Group, MMI Dining Systems, and Zest Culinary Services—the platform manages complete asset lifecycles from feasibility studies and ground-up development through operations, repositioning, and disposition. Its management and investment portfolio spans franchised select-service hotels, independent luxury resorts, golf clubs, and dining facilities. The firm's operational footprint primarily focuses on drive-to destination submarkets across the U.S. Sun Belt and Southeastern states (including Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, and Arkansas). Over its operational history, the company has developed or operated more than 50 hotel properties. Signature portfolio holdings include long-term crown jewel assets such as The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort in St. Simons Island, Georgia (held for over 40 years) and the Mission Resort & Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida.
