04 / ABOUT MARÍA

A hotelier's eye.
A human approach.

I believe a hotel's greatest distinction is how it makes people feel.

My career spans luxury hospitality in Europe, the United States and Colombia. After studying Hospitality Management in Switzerland, I worked with Four Seasons and The Luxury Collection in Geneva, and Dorchester Collection in Los Angeles.

In Colombia, I served as Operations Manager at InterContinental Medellín before opening and managing landmark boutique hotels. My experience includes The Click Clack Hotel, Versus Hotel and Kiin Living, bringing together hotel openings, operational leadership and the daily work of building strong teams.

Today, as founder of Crafted Hospitality, I partner with hotel owners and leaders to connect exceptional guest experiences with a clear identity, a confident team and a business built for the long term.
