Columbia Hospitality Claimed Company
OUR ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
IS ALIVE AND WELL
We'll try just about anything once. This entrepreneurial spirit is how Columbia Hospitality got its start. As a trusted partner of the Port of Seattle, having planned and executed many events for them, they asked Columbia CEO and Founder, John Oppenheimer, if he knew anyone who would be a good operator for the soon-to-be-built Bell Harbor International Conference Center. Having no management experience, naturally, John said, “Yes, US!” When asked why, his response was, “Because we’ve never done it before, but no one knows what your clients want better than us!”
We got the job, and we still have that job decades later.

When I see both team members and guests appreciative of the work I do.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The company does a great job of providing benefits that normally would be out of reach of a small organization.
What are some of the best things about your team?
COVID hospitality employment loss made a lot of good people find other work. The folks who stuck with it are truly in to the hospitality mindset.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
I think they care a lot about the people who work for them. I think they are having a hard time reconciling their former small-company familiarity with the explosive growth they have been seeing.
