About Kevin Croke

My hospitality career has provided me years of experience within the hotel space with a primary focus on independent properties. This has awarded me the opportunity to use my knowledge, passion and loyalty to to assist hotel owners, and operators in operations, sales, revenue management, and marketing. My job is to assist and provide business intelligence, market insight and overall support to drive revenues, service scores and help deliver profitable results coupled with a strong and favorable associate environment. I bring a competitive spirit to any task or assignment I am given. My early years in professional sports has helped me develop a winning attitude and the value of teamwork and dedication. As a hotel leader, I have built teams that are competitive and who were focused on results as a group vs. individual accomplishments, while at the same time mentoring and establishing high levels of positive moral. I have successfully guided properties in major markets such as New York City, Stamford, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Key West and Washington D.C. With a deep knowledge of running independent hotels, resorts and conference centers both as a General Manager and Sales & Marketing Director, provides me with a unique approach to supporting the needs and objectives of a hotel or resort. I love what I do, and my goal is to remain focused on the job at hand while having fun doing it!
