Teague Talks with Greg Kennealey, Peregrine Hospitality

This week, Teague travels to San Diego to sit down with Greg Kennealey, CEO of Peregrine Hospitality, at the Sheraton San Diego Resort on Harbor Island. Greg shares his approach to leadership, team building, and owning and managing a diverse portfolio of more than 46 properties nationwide, spanning select-service hotels, boutique properties, and destination resorts. Greg discusses the importance of empowering teams, his confidence for the long-term future of hospitality, and remaining actively involved in every facet of the company's operations, from acquisitions and asset strategy to branding and guest experience. He also reflects on his own path into the industry—one he jokingly describes as "dumb luck"—and the experiences that ultimately shaped his career. From scaling operations to fostering excellence, Greg offers valuable insights into what it takes to lead at the highest levels of hospitality while keeping people, whether guests or team members, at the center of every decision.
