Before republishing quotes, we ask that you reference the audio. Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everybody, and welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. This is your host, Ryan Embree. Thank you so much for joining me. We are continuing our Suite Spot: Spotlight series. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite series podcast series that we've done on The Suite Spot. Because of all the places we've traveled, we've gone up to New York, down to Miami Beach, and now we are going to beautiful sunny Mexico with a great guest, Christopher Calabrese, general manager and vice president of the Marriott Cancun Collection. Christopher, welcome to the Suite Spot. Christopher Calabrese: Thank you, Ryan. Good to be with you. Ryan Embree: Yeah, and we talked off screen how very jealous of where you're at. You've got a wonderful property over there, which we're gonna talk all about. But before we do that, I always love, we live and work in such a wonderful industry, Christopher, with tons of backgrounds and stories. Tell us a little bit about your journey, your hospitality journey, and what led you to the Marriott Cancun Collection. Christopher Calabrese: Well, I've been with Marriott for 52 years now, which a lot of people don't believe, but it's actually the truth. I've had the pleasure to work with all three of the generations of the Marriott family, starting with JW Marriott Sr., Bill Marriott, of course, who was our ex-chairman of the board, and now our David Marriott, who of course is the grandson of the founder and he is now our chairman, executive chairman, as they call it these days. So it's been an honor to work with all three generations. I started with the hot shops, which was our sort of founding company of restaurants. That's how Marriott got started in the business. And most of my background, or let's say half of my background to date so far has been food and beverage. I then became a regional director of operations in Mid-Atlantic. And I wanted to explore the world. I wanted to see international, I wanted to be a general manager. And so at that time I expressed an interest in Latin America and they said, well, you don't really speak Spanish, so we don't, we can't really put you there at this time. So I said, okay, well what might you have? They said, well, we have a job for you in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia as general manager. I said, I don't speak Arabic. And they said, yeah, but you know, your type of personality will fit in nicely in in that area, in that part of the world. So if you'd like it, let's do it. We can fly you in if you want to have a look. I said, no, that's okay. Let's just go do a one-way ticket and I'll work out there for a couple of years and hopefully one day get back to this part of the world. And, and sure enough, that's what happened. And so that's kind of my journey International. And then I moved to Puerto Vallarta as general manager of the Marriott there. And then I've been in Cancun the rest of my career, but I've moved 26 times with this company. So, um, I know what it's like to see different parts of the world or at least parts of the US for the short time that I was there, half of my career.
