About Prime Hospitality Group

Established in 2017, Prime Hospitality Group started with five Ruth's Chris Steak House restaurants and swiftly grew to become the largest franchise group of the global brand with twelve current locations, and multiple other food and beverage concepts. In recent years, we have expanded to additional food and beverage concepts as well as into hotel hospitality space, creating a thriving collection of exciting service-oriented brands.

Our newest concept, Un Deux Trois, is a French inspired café serving the finest espresso drinks and French Pastries. Prime Hospitality Group is proud to welcome the AC Marriott Chesterfield as the first fully managed hotel in our portfolio. This addition marks an exciting new chapter as we bring our signature commitment to exceptional guest experiences into hotel management. We look forward to elevating this property with the same dedication, heart, and service-driven culture that define who we are.
