Our team members say it best...

Five years ago I left a large hotel company to join Columbia Hospitality because I wanted to work for a company that wasn't afraid of doing something different. Columbia Hospitality is truly an entrepreneurial environment that takes on challenges and outside the box projects that other companies might not think about doing. I feel challenged every day I come to work. I'm encouraged to look for different ways of doing things - involving my fellow team members in decisions and helping them have fun - while at the same time taking care of our guests and owners.

I joined Columbia Hospitality 12 years ago because a co-worker at another property incessantly raved about working at Bell Harbor. I took his word for it and interviewed for a banquet server position and the rest is history! I am amazed and inspired by all the growth opportunities I've been afforded over the years. Starting as banquet server and captain at Bell Harbor, then food and beverage manager at Talaris, I have literally come full circle in my growth with this company and now find myself back at Bell Harbor, first as the director of food and beverage and most recently promoted to Director of Operations. As I see it, the sky is the limit to how far I can take my career at Columbia.
