We Get Lots and Lots of Letters!
Dear Bob In every one of our guest rooms in every hotel managed by First Hospitality Group, you’ll find a “Dear Bob” card. These are simple comment cards designed to encourage specific guest feedback. The cards are pre-addressed to Bob, aka Robert Habeeb, President of First Hospitality Group. Bob reads and responds to every card directly, because as the head of our company, he recognizes how important it is to stay in touch with the needs and expectations of our guests.


The “Dear Bob” philosophy of listening doesn’t end with our guests. We also have a “Dear Bob” program for FHG associates. Several times per year, “Dear Bob” cards are attached to the paychecks of every associate, to give those who work in our hotels the same opportunity to share what’s working well, to ask questions or communicate their concerns.

FHG prides itself on being a company that pays attention! If you’d like to contact Bob, e-mail him at rjh@fhginc.com or call him directly at 847-299-9040 ext. 181
