Craft House announces Megan Gray Stromberg, Director

Megan Gray Stromberg, Director, Colorado

Some people join a company. Others were always meant to be part of it.

Megan Gray Stromberg has been working with Craft House since 2015 — and anyone who has worked alongside her already knows what this announcement really means: she's not new to us, and we're not new to her. What's new is that it's official. Megan joins Craft House as Director, based in Colorado.

Megan brings fifteen years of hospitality experience that moves fluidly between the institutional and the independent — the kind of range that's rare and genuinely useful. She led food and beverage at St. Regis New York and then St. Regis Atlanta, two of the most demanding F&B operations in the country. Then, in 2013, she made the deliberate choice to leave Starwood and return to Colorado, where she opened The BARley in Steamboat — a beer garden and bar food destination that earned a feature in the New York Times travel section shortly after opening. It's a trajectory that tells you something important: Megan understands luxury from the inside, and she understands what it takes to build something from scratch. That combination is not easy to find.

She is a Colorado native, a Cornell School of Hotel Administration graduate, and someone who invests in the industry well beyond her client work. She sits on the Board of Directors of the Colorado Restaurant Association, serves as President of the Les Dames d'Escoffier Colorado Chapter, and is actively involved in both the Cornell Rocky Mountain Region Chapter and the National Repertory Orchestra.

For Craft House, Megan's addition means stronger roots in the American West and deeper expertise across food and beverage, independent concepts, and the kind of hospitality that connects genuinely with its community. For our clients, it means more of what we've always tried to deliver — the right person, in the room, doing the work.

Welcome, Megan. Officially.
