A Defining Moment for Hospitality: Cliché Magazine Features Neyius Hotel Group’s Kellan Cruz

Kellan Cruz and Neyius Hotel Group Featured in Cliché Magazine for Transforming Hospitality Leadership

In honor of Women’s Empowerment Month, Cliché Magazine released a powerful profile on Kellan Cruz, President and CEO of the Neyius Hotel Group, a division of Neyius Corporation founded by Courtney Jordan.

The article, titled “Exclusive: Kellan Cruz – The Architect of Empowerment Redefining Hospitality’s Future,” highlights Cruz’s trailblazing approach to leadership, family balance, and sustainable business practices.

Under Cruz’s command, Neyius Hotel Group has grown into a portfolio of 21 hospitality properties across the United States, gaining reputation for excellence, authenticity, and social responsibility.

“We don’t need seats at the table—we need to build new tables,” Cruz tells Cliché Magazine. “Ones where sustainability, equity, and humanity aren’t afterthoughts. They’re the foundation.”

Empowerment in Action: Legacy, Leadership, and Sustainability

The feature captures how Cruz, a single mother and visionary, leads her company through values that reflect the overarching principles of the Neyius brand—empowerment, innovation, and accountability.

From open-door “fireside chats” with housekeepers to introducing boxed water across all properties, Cruz ensures that every corner of Neyius Hotel Group reflects intention, equity, and forward-thinking design.

Also spotlighted is her strategic partnership with Nick Gallardo, CFO of the Courtney Jordan Foundation in America. Gallardo played a critical role in restructuring the company’s finances and scaling its acquisition strategy. His political acumen and financial expertise have helped the group identify and revitalize underutilized hotel properties with high long-term value.

A Jordan Vision, A Cruz Execution

Backed by Courtney Jordan’s corporate ethos—“If it’s working and not broken, why do anything different?”—the Neyius Hotel Group operates on lean, empowered teams and values that mirror its founder’s commitment to scalable, sustainable systems.

Jordan’s philanthropic and corporate support has included the launch of a $10M fund for women-led boutique hotels, reinforcing his long-standing belief in women-led innovation.

Future-Focused Hospitality: The Neyius Standard

The Cliché Magazine article comes at a pivotal time as the Neyius Hotel Group prepares for global expansion. New mentorship programs, a 60% female-led GM roster, and innovations in sustainable infrastructure continue to set the gold standard in hospitality.

As the story of Kellan Cruz spreads, it not only highlights the excellence within Neyius Hotel Group—it cements the group’s reputation as a case study in inclusive, visionary hospitality.
