Co-Founder and President of Development

John Klimpel has 45 active years in the Hospitality and Food and Beverage Industry. Starting out as a busboy in St. Louis then a Food and Beverage Manager, he learned all aspects of the industry. His growing passion and work ethic brought him to Lincoln, NE, where he was given the opportunity to run a full service hotel. In 1998 John and Tami purchased their first hotel, founding Lincoln Hotel Group in the process. Since then, John has overseen the full development of over 35 hotels.

Though Lincoln Hotel Group has continued to grow and change, John Klimpel's selfless attitude remains true today. He doesn't hesitate to pick up a broom in the lobby or help serve food in the kitchen. His strong work ethic and loyalty are the driving force to Lincoln Hotel Group's continued success. John is always looking for opportunities to expand Lincoln Hotel Group and is looking forward to the bright future surrounding the company he and his wife have built.

John Klimpel has 5 kids that he loves dearly and constantly supports in everything that they do. He loves getting to know his employees, traveling and of course the St. Louis Cardinals.
