Katie Cline

I'm an award-winning public relations professional who has led global communications for world-renowned hotel brands such as Ritz-Carlton, W Hotels, St. Regis, The Luxury Collection, and more in both New York City and London. I'm also the host of the Hospitality.FM original podcast, Suite Success, where I interview hotel executives, hospitality leaders and industry innovators weekly to uncover the strategies and secrets behind the world’s best brands and entrepreneurs. An obsessive traveler, I'm a dual-citizen of the US and Ireland, and I apply my love of hospitality to my three short-term rentals in upstate NY: Trout Landing (near Lake George), Gallant Fox (in Saratoga Springs) and The Lazy Oar (on Seneca Lake). I believe in a lifestyle-driven approach to personal finance, using vacation home ownership to build wealth for the future, without sacrificing enjoyment today — check out my free weekly newsletter at BuyYourSecondHomeFirst.com. When I'm not boarding a plane, I can probably be found trying a new restaurant in Astoria (NYC) with my husband; schooling my British-born toddler on the magnificence of NY bagels; or scrolling Zillow with my newborn.
