In addition to the Residences at Little Nell in Aspen, Krystal’s rich construction investing and financing experience is highlighted by a collection of iconic hotels including the SLS Brickell, Moxy by Marriott South Beach, Culver City’s Ivy Station (which includes the Shay Hotel, a Destination by Hyatt hotel), the Carte (Curio) in Downtown San Diego, Hotel NIA (Autograph) in Menlo Park, and Moxy Charleston (her favorite so far!), among others.
