Some might say that hospitality is in our DNA. And that’s no stretch. Our core ownership team includes a father-son duo who has been working in and around hotels for decades. Co-founder and COO Koloa Wolfgramm started walking properties with his father as a child. His father, Phil Wolfgramm, worked his way up within the industry – from a night auditor job while working his way through law school to general manager, and eventually on to leading acquisitions and building hotels– and always had Koloa in tow. Co-Founder Russ Handy consulted on many of those deals and had become one of the most prolific hospitality lawyers in the nation. This early foundation would be the launching pad for Wolfgramm Capital nearly 30 years later.
Wolfgramm Capital is a real estate investment firm specializing in hotel acquisitions and management, while also seeking, acquiring, and developing opportunistic and ground-up mixed use, residential, and suburban master-planned projects.
In August of 2023, the company closed on our first luxury hotel: the Waldorf Astoria in Park City, Utah. In doing so, Koloa became the youngest Waldorf hotel owner in the United States. Almost overnight, Wolfgramm Capital became a known player in the hospitality market. There are only a dozen Waldorf Astoria hotels in the United States and the approval process to become a Waldorf Astoria owner is notoriously selective. This pivotal acquisition elevated the company; we were officially on the map.
