Our Team

MAX KHAGHAN began his love affair with the hospitality business as a young cabana boy at a beachside resort, where he saw firsthand the unmatched joy that a great hotel can bring to all kinds of people. But he wasn’t content working for someone else’s vision, so as an early Airbnb pioneer, he created and managed a string of highly profitable, Brooklyn-chic apartment stays that attracted guests from across the globe.

In this first venture, he refined his eye for detail and grew a passion for designing intentional spaces that give guests experiences to remember. With the success generated from this vision-forward approach, Max’s ambitions grew as he sought out entire hotels and properties to transform into one-of-a-kind destinations.

From New York to Miami to Colorado to Mexico, Max’s creativity and passion have fueled his big-picture mission to make a company that changes the face of the industry.

Across all of his roles and ventures, Daniel has managed to put guests first while expertly managing the financial side of operations.

Now, after spending countless hours growing his repertoire while working his way up the ranks at world-famous hotel brands and boutique shops alike, he's ready to blaze his own trail in the industry.
