Meet our Founder

Our Founder Kristy Whitford has been in the Spa, Beauty, Wellness, Fashion Retail and Hotel industry for over 20 years. She has worked for renowned hotels, beauty companies and with fashion brands and artists with Iconic history, The Claremont Resort & Spa Elizabeth Arden, Mandarin Oriental, and more recently The Beverly Hills Hotel and Bungalows. Since 2015 she was responsible for the vision, curation and design of products and collaborations for the Iconic hotel in Beverly Hills; turning The Shop into a coveted and highly sought after fashion and product destination for guests from all over the world. Through her spa expertise she was also responsible for creating an oasis within the spa and introducing the global menu of services and products that have made the spa a wellness refuge for both locals and guests from everywhere.

Kristy enjoys traveling the globe, experiencing cultures through all the senses and bringing home something to remember each destination by. It is with her love of connecting the human experience that she set out to create a company that celebrates the joy of travel while blending hospitality, good food, fashion, beauty, art and brands that she loves and trusts and who spread kindness into the world. She creates connections where they didn’t exist and shares her discoveries here at The Hotel Club.
