Long before the rise of Airbnb, in 1994, Desiree Munson discovered her passion for hospitality while staying at elegant bed and breakfasts in Historic Savannah, Georgia, and Charleston, South Carolina. Enchanted by the charm, warmth, and personal touch of those experiences, she envisioned one day creating her own sanctuary for travelers seeking the comfort of home paired with exceptional service.

That vision came to life in 2011, when Desiree began welcoming guests to her Washington, D.C. residence through Airbnb. Her thoughtfully curated space quickly became a sought-after destination for visitors from around the globe, its success allowing her to cover her entire mortgage through rental income alone.

As word spread, Desiree’s expertise and eye for detail led her to assist friends and colleagues in creating their own profitable short-term rentals. From that foundation, Hive Hospitality Management was born—an evolution of her passion into a refined, full-service hospitality brand.

Today, Desiree has elevated her business to an international level, offering luxury corporate housing and fully furnished accommodations across the United States and overseas. Hive Hospitality caters to discerning business, government, and relocation clients who value seamless comfort, security, and sophistication in every stay.
