How do you build a hospitality brand that combines the best of Airbnb and traditional hotels?

In this episode, we sit down with Sky McLean, CEO and Founder of Basecamp Resorts, the fastest-growing hospitality brand in Western Canada. Sky shares her journey from real estate development to creating a hotel brand that blends the best of Airbnb and traditional hospitality—offering the flexibility of home-style accommodations with the service and reliability of a hotel.

We dive into:

How Sky raised millions in funding through Instagram
The growing demand for apartment-style hotel suites
The challenges (and wins) of scaling from 1 to 13 properties
The role of Nordic Spas in the future of hospitality
How AI and tech are changing hotel operations
