Chelsea Hershelman
Vice President of Design + Development, CoralTree Hospitality
Denver
Chelsea Hershelman's childhood in Denver was fi lled with outdoor adventures
and time spent lost in books. During a gap year before college, Hershelman
spent her time in a rural French town in the Loire Valley, where she fell in love
with architecture and art. She honed her skills at Benjamin West for nine years
(helping launch the purchasing fi rm's London offi ce) and later joined Ace Hotel
Group, opening fi ve hotels in fi ve years. In 2021, Hershelman joined hospitality
management company CoralTree where her passion for creativity and holistic
design continues to guide her work.
What were you like as a kid?
I loved being outside and exploring then hopping in the hammock in our backyard
and gett ing lost in a book or daydreaming. I'm the oldest of four so I was bossy
and protective (in the most loving way, of course). Playing dress up was one of my
favorite things. I was obsessed with sequins and loved altering my Barbie's clothes
to match my outfi ts, much to my mom's chagrin. I was big hearted and hated people
being leſt out. I didn't always have the courage to do something about it, but I had
(and still have) an innate sense of inclusion for everyone since I knew what it was
like to be the outsider with all the times I was the new kid at school.
Early design memories?
We used to go on long drives when I was young to help soothe my twin sisters to
sleep and to discover all the parks in Denver. My brother and I would sit in the back
