Colm O'Callaghan shared thisThank you Forbes Travel Guide. We are delighted to tell the story of the sensational and successful relaunch of Pier Sixty-Six. Developed by Tavistock Development Group and reimagined as an extraordinary luxury resort, residence, marina, private club with 12 outstanding restaurants and bars, brought to life by the team at Pier and CoralTree Hospitality.Colm O'Callaghan shared thisFor generations, Pier Sixty-Six was the "social harbor" of Fort Lauderdale — welcoming legends like Frank Sinatra and Liza Minnelli, and anchoring decades of waterfront celebrations. “There’s a history here that resonates deeply with locals,” says Colm O'Callaghan, vice president and managing director of the property. “Everybody I meet seems to have a story connected with Pier Sixty-Six.�� Following a years-long redevelopment, the South Florida landmark is charting its next course.

Colm O'Callaghan reposted thisColm O'Callaghan reposted thisGrounded. Last week, I had the opportunity to serve as the business lead for the Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI) Insurance & Financial Leadership Exchange at Pier Sixty-Six in Fort Lauderdale. What stood out most was the space for real conversation—peers coming together to share challenges, ideas, and perspectives in a way that felt open and meaningful. We heard thoughtful insights throughout the program—from Michael Dominguez, FASAE, CHSE connecting the dots across our industry, to Lalia Rach’s perspective on civility and how we show up, to Patrick McAndrew’s keynote on the “Productivity Paradox” and the focus on attention and presence. What stayed with me is simple: Leadership begins with how we lead ourselves. In a time where AI and technology are changing how we work and connect, the reminder to stay grounded, present, and intentional in how we show up felt especially relevant. It’s a reminder I’m carrying with me - especially as conversations around AI and human connection continue to evolve. Grateful to be part of a community that continues to learn from one another and move the industry forward. Thank you Brett Boreing, Susan Wesselhoft, Karla Gonzalez, Colm O'Callaghan and your remarkable Pier Sixty-Six team for an exceptional event. Thank you to our ALHI members and partners for your commitment and support: Lauren Abriola Judith Andujar, CIS Sarai Jiron Katherine Bravo Amanda Cable Frank D'Amato Clarissa Danna Janell Davies Brock Lawson Megan Entriken Kathy Fino Tom Foley Ryan Furio Patricia Herrera Josh Johns Ray Griffin Samantha Key Molly McHenry Melissa Plymal Adam Riegler Maria Trabucco Calais Van Horn DANIEL WALSH Drew Warwick Aaron Weegar Tanya Torrence Robert Lee, DMCP Kenley Moy, CMP Karen Dunn Andrew Gibbons #ALHI #InsuranceAndFinancialLeadershipExchange #Leadership #EventProfs #IndustryLeadership

Colm O'Callaghan reposted thisA new benchmark for Fort Lauderdale luxury has officially been set. At Pier Sixty-Six, we are proud to introduce a $16M penthouse—now the largest condominium currently on the market in Fort Lauderdale. This is more than a residence. It’s a statement of where this market is headed. With over 5,000+ square feet of interior space, expansive views, and access to an unmatched resort lifestyle—including marina, dining, and private club amenities—this offering reflects a shift we’ve been anticipating: Fort Lauderdale is no longer emerging. It has arrived. Having spent decades in this market, it’s incredibly rewarding to be part of a project that is not just participating in the evolution—but leading it. Grateful to be working alongside Tavistock Development Company on what will undoubtedly become one of the most iconic waterfront developments in South Florida. Exclusivity. Scale. Vision.

Colm O'Callaghan liked thisSo excited to have The Botany at St. Thomas join the The Calliope Collective portfolio! Such a beautiful addition, set in the stunning surroundings of the US Virgin Islands. A truly special property with so much to offer, and a wonderful opportunity to showcase another exceptional destination. Looking forward to seeing all that’s ahead for The Botany and the team! #CalliopeCollective #TheBotany #LuxuryHospitality #Caribbean #FlyFurtherWithUsColm O'Callaghan liked thisWe’re delighted to welcome The Botany to our collection of exceptional luxury properties. Set across 300 acres on the western edge of St. Thomas, this intimate retreat is home to just 20 villas, surrounded by lush foliage, weathered stone and the enduring character of the island. Here, nature and history shape the experience. Ocean breezes drift through the palms, the landscape tells stories of the past, and a sense of seclusion comes naturally. For travelers seeking a more intimate side of St. Thomas, The Botany offers a stay that feels distinctly connected to place, with the privacy and space to make it entirely your own. We look forward to sharing more of The Botany with our travel advisor community. #TheBotany #StThomas #LuxuryHotels

Colm O'Callaghan liked thisColm O'Callaghan liked thisOne statistic caught my attention recently: only 16% of hospitality CHROs surveyed by Checkr said executive leadership views HR as a strategic leader with decision-making influence. At the same time, 31% identified employee retention as their greatest workforce risk. Those two findings are hard to separate. Talent decisions influence growth plans, succession, culture, and ultimately the guest experience. The strongest organizations recognize that people strategy belongs in the business conversation early, rather than after a problem appears. If retention is one of the industry's biggest risks, HR leadership needs the access and influence to address it. #HospitalityHR #TalentStrategy #EmployeeRetention #Leadership2026 Hospitality CHRO Insight Report: AI, Risk, and Retention | Checkr2026 Hospitality CHRO Insight Report: AI, Risk, and Retention | Checkr

Colm O'Callaghan liked thisColm O'Callaghan liked thisHotels can have a strong corporate strategy and still struggle at the property level. That is why I think some of the industry's most consequential leadership roles remain the ones closest to the operation. A great GM sets the tone. Strong finance leadership protects the business. Commercial leaders translate market opportunity into revenue, while HR leaders help ensure the property has the people to deliver what it promises. When one of those seats stays open too long, the impact rarely stays confined to that department. As companies plan for their 2027 talent needs, property-level bench strength deserves as much attention as corporate succession. #HotelLeadership #HospitalityCareers #TalentStrategy #ExecutiveSearch
