Founded on
Equal Opportunity
for All
GUP exists because talented hospitality professionals worldwide deserved a legitimate, transparent path to America's finest hotels.
Why GUP Exists
We recognized a persistent barrier: talented international hospitality professionals who had everything required to excel in America's luxury hotel industry — except the door.
That door had long been controlled by agencies with opaque processes and front-loaded fees. Candidates paid thousands with no guarantee of placement.
GUP was built to change that. A success-based system where our financial interests are fully aligned with yours — we only win when you win. Based in Fort Lauderdale, we are a professional, legal, and cultural bridge between global talent and American excellence.
Our Core Values
Four principles shaping every decision — from how we structure fees to how we match candidates with properties.
"Every talented hospitality professional deserves a fair shot at the world's best hotels."
That's why we exist. Every decision starts with the candidate.
