Davonne Reaves Biography

Travel trailblazer and hospitality enthusiast Davonne Reaves, is an award-winning hotel consultant and asset manager, who on her own path to hotel ownership, is fiercely dedicated to empowering underrepresented communities on opportunities unlocked through investment in the hospitality industry.

As founder and chief hospitality strategist behind Atlanta-based hospitality firm, The Vonne Group, Reaves capitalizes on her more than 14 years of experience in the lodging industry, to teach African American’s how to become hotel investors and owners.

With a passion for people and pineapples —the premiere symbol for the hospitality industry — Reaves makes hotel ownership real and relatable through educational training and programmatic resources that spotlight each step in the hotel acquisition process, leaning into sustainable success strategies. Through The Vonne Group’s signature system, Roadmap to Hotel Ownership, Reaves has educated over 3,000 people and transformed the lives of individuals across the U.S., helping them attain hotel ownership and diverse markets.

Over the years, Reaves held positions across the industry at event management firm Blair Management Consultant Services, hotel development corporation Horwath HTL, and asset management organization CHMWarnick, where she managed portfolios totaling over $1 billion in hotel assets.

A proven leader and trusted advisor, Reaves has been recognized by organizations like The International Society of Hospitality Consultants, Hotel Management Magazine, and Hilton Hotels & Resorts.

As a Philadelphia native with deep roots in the Atlanta community, Reaves remains engaged with her alma mater Georgia State University where she obtained a B.A. in Sociology.
