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. read more

Columbia Hospitality Leadership Employee Reviews

What do you like best about the leadership team?

They treat me as a person and they ask and value my opinion on how things at my property are run. They allow me to use my experience and knowledge to help make the property a better place for me and my team members.

Engage and supportive leaders of the company

Review from HR Dept

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

In short, communication and general leadership skills.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Our gm needs to actually listen to opinions and set aside his pride and admit when hes wrong. Help people grow instead of creating some bs position then trying to act like our raises are so grest but then pay only 1000 less anually to a new role. Total slap in the face. And im "on the fast track" ha

Leadership needs improve communication and treat employees with dignity and respect.

Review from Marketing Dept · See Columbia Hospitality's Response

Communication for one I was laid off after 2months despite being told the property was staying open during the renovation and was given 17days to find a new job. With no guarantee of a position once it's reopened that's a terrible way to treat your employees

Review from Customer Support Dept · See Columbia Hospitality's Response

Management for the most part is helpful now. Our new front desk manager is hands on and helps us a lot as we need it. I think in general upper mangement is too worried about saving the company money. Not about keeping their employees happy or keeping them.

Review from Operations Dept · See Columbia Hospitality's Response

The Manager and Spa leader do not know how to talk to their employees.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Respect to the team members.

Review from Engineering Dept · See Columbia Hospitality's Response

Integrity is non-existent from the leadership team. Additionally, it's clear that personal relationships and social status are substantially more valued than job performance. The double standards resulting from this may even present a liability for Columbia Hospitality.

Review from Operations Dept · See Columbia Hospitality's Response

I think Columbia Hospitality should change their name to Columbia Investment. Because with all the employees i work with loved the way our small town family business was in the first place before Columbia i dont think that Columbia should even be a hospitality buisness it should be an investmentonly

Review from Customer Success Dept · See Columbia Hospitality's Response

The managers NEVER tell about big events weel in advance, only until the day of.
