History
Dunfey Hotels was founded in 1958, when the Dunfey brothers added a 32-room motel to their Lamie's Tavern restaurant property in Hampton, New Hampshire.[3] They soon established a hotel chain throughout New England,[4] including 14 Sheraton Hotels franchises [5] in 1964.[6] In 1968, the Dunfeys acquired the near-bankrupt Parker House Hotel in Boston.[6]
