With a wealth of hospitality knowledge, a love of New England, a passion for culinary excellence, and a dedication to the finest inn experience, the Inn at Hastings Park’s team is dedicated to welcoming you and enhancing your visit with us in every way.

Owner

Trisha Pérez Kennealy

Although owning Inn at Hastings Park is Trisha’s first official foray into hospitality, her life experience has perfectly prepared her for this profession. She’s one part business entrepreneur with an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School and one part chef having earned her Diplôme de Cuisine and Diplôme de Pâtisserie at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School in London. However, it’s Trisha’s lifestyle and values that have prepared her above and beyond all else. Trisha grew up in Puerto Rico and spent much of her childhood with her multi-generational family enjoying great food and sharing stories. From Puerto Rico, Trisha’s family moved to Lexington, and years later, when it was time for Trisha and her husband, Mike, to decide where they would raise their three children, the decision was easy. Trisha and Mike love Lexington for its sense of civic engagement, its reverence for its rich history, and its eclectic mixture of cultures, religions, and people. With the Inn at Hastings Park, Trisha can share her love of Lexington and her passion for good food and gracious hospitality with travelers from around the world.
