Today marks the debut of Peregrine Hospitality, a reimagined version of KSL Resorts. Denver-based Peregrine Hospitality will continue to manage its portfolio of iconic hotels and resorts while actively pursuing opportunities for growth across all asset classes within the hospitality sector.
Led by Chief Executive Officer Greg Kennealey, the Peregrine Hospitality executive team is comprised of Tom Barber, chief financial officer; Ed Eynon, chief human resources officer; Catherine Hance, chief legal officer; Pete Sams, chief operating officer; and Mike Wilbert, managing director and head of acquisitions.
The firm’s structure allows it to leverage its team’s strengths and considerable resources, relationships and extensive experience in hospitality management, development and acquisitions to lead investments and manage hotel and resort properties throughout the U.S. and in key global markets.
“This is an exciting time for the organization and reflects the owner/operator model and philosophy that differentiates us within the industry. We are operators at heart, performance-oriented and passionate about hospitality,” said Kennealey. “Our team has extensive experience in the acquisition, development and management of hotel properties, including some of the most exclusive resort destinations. Our talented team of leaders will allow us to grow a portfolio of exceptionally high-quality assets while continuing to elevate the guest experience.”
The name Peregrine, derived from the Latin adjective “peregrinus,” means traveler or coming from abroad. The Peregrine Falcon, known for its wide-ranging travels and status as the world’s fastest bird, embodies these qualities. According to Kennealey, “Like the Peregrine Falcon, Peregrine Hospitality operates with precision, accuracy, and agility. The new name aptly reflects our company’s ethos.”
