Raj serves as Chief Executive Officer. With the initial goal of becoming a doctor, he shifted gears after graduating from Kennesaw State University. He began his career as General Manager of Best Western Atlanta Airport, where he assumed the responsibilities of managing budgets, maintaining financial records, and planning maintenance work. Working as a hands-on GM allowed Raj to indulge himself within the hotel industry, thereby gaining the knowledge and confidence needed to venture out into development. He immediately discovered his passion for real estate development and the ability to bring his vision to life in the form of a hotel.

Outside of the office, Raj can be found either on the golf course or at his local Hindu temple, where he serves as Chairman. His ideal vacation is a road trip down the West Coast, stopping at every golf course along the way. He may love the game of golf like his third child; however, making the temple a better place for everyone is what brings him the most joy. No matter how busy his schedule, he always makes time to work on Apsilon Hotels projects and temple projects simultaneously. To Raj, the hotels and the temple are both essentially in the hospitality industry, and making sure the guests are taken care of is always priority #1.

Bob serves as Chief Operating Officer. Bob enlisted in the US Navy Reserves out of high school and graduated with a degree in Business Administration from the University of Illinois at Chicago. For the past 13 years, he has been heavily involved in hospitality management. Prior to joining Apsilon Hotels in 2007, he worked with his family in managing various businesses such as Chevron, Quiznos, and Marble Slab Creamery.

When it is time for fun and play, Bob spends his time on the golf course, much like some of his business partners.

Bob serves as Chief Financial Officer for Apsilon Hotels. At the age of 17, he started working with his father at one of their first hotels in Bremen, GA. Just like the rest of his family, Bhavesh was hands-on from the very beginning, allowing him to digest any and all information thrown his way. He takes pride in his ability to switch gears at any given time. He often starts his day at a construction site, where he loves spending his time, and ends his day at the office, running payroll or performing other accounting-related tasks. Not knowing what the day has in store for him is what Bhavesh is most fond of about his lifestyle.

During football season, there is a slim chance that you will be able to reach Bhavesh. The Georgia Bulldogs and Atlanta Falcons are by far his two favorite teams, and he is the definition of a die-hard fan. Nothing will get in the way of him and his two teams, not even a family wedding. Tailgating before a Falcons game is one of his favorite activities. Besides football, Bhavesh is also intrigued by woodworking and traveling. One particular dream of his is to go swimming with sharks.

Hemal has extensive experience in retail, but curiosity drove him to branch out into revenue management in the hospitality industry. He not only oversees the revenue management team, but he is also responsible for overseeing IT and ensuring that the servers are running properly.

When Hemal is not on a revenue call at the office, he is likely at home with his two daughters critiquing their desserts. His sweet tooth cannot be stopped. If he could, he would have dessert for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When it comes to exercising, Hemal is a big fan of working out his brain. He enjoys reading the news for hours on end, and he believes that there is nothing you cannot teach yourself by simply putting in the time.
