Our Story

About SCC Hospitality

Three decades of passion and hospitality across Ontario — and a warm welcome waiting for you this holiday season.

Building Excellence Since 2016

A Family Legacy
of Hospitality

Founded by brothers Azhar and Aejaz Kheraj, SCC Hospitality Inc. brings together decades of expertise in hotel operations, management, and financial strategy. Our commitment to excellence has made us a trusted partner for major hospitality brands.

With deep roots in hotel operations and management, the Kheraj brothers built SCC Hospitality on a foundation of guest-first values and rigorous operational standards — understanding not just how to run a great hotel, but how to build a great hospitality company.

Today, SCC Hospitality is a trusted partner of three of the world's leading hospitality brands — IHG Hotels & Resorts, Choice Hotels, and Hyatt Hotels Corporation — operating Holiday Inn Express, Candlewood Suites, Hyatt Select, and Quality Inn & Suites properties across Kingston and Prescott, Ontario. With Hyatt Select Kingston now open and a new Holiday Inn Express & Suites coming to Trenton, SCC Hospitality continues to grow its footprint across Eastern Ontario.
