Peter Mack
Founder & CEO of Collective Hotels & Retreats
A little bit about Peter…
Peter Mack is the Founder and CEO of Collective Retreats, the experiential luxury hotel brand that connects guests with places, communities, and themselves through its unique, asset-light environmentally thoughtful business model. Mack started Collective Retreats following his role as Vice President of Product Innovation at Tough Mudder, where he oversaw experience design and product. Prior to Tough Mudder, Mack spent over 10 years at Starwood Hotels & Resorts where he identified that traditional hotel experiences and design were ‘broken’. Mack, a graduate of the hospitality school at Cornell University, decided to turn the hotel model upside down and build a new type of luxury retreat that creates as little barrier as possible between each location’s breathtaking landscape and guest accommodations, dining, and experiences. Collective Retreats is currently operating in five locations across the country and aims to grow to more than 25 locations in the next five years and become the most desired brand in travel.
