KSL Resorts has rebranded as Peregrine Hospitality. The updated company will continue to manage its portfolio of 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 Chief Financial Officer Tom Barber; Chief Human Resources Officer Ed Eynon; Chief Legal Officer Catherine Hance; Chief Operating Officer Pete Sams; and Mike Wilbert, managing director and head of acquisitions.
“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,” Kennealey said in a statement. “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.”
