About The Position

At The Cottonwood, we’re more than just a boutique hotel — we’re a proud team of passionate people who care deeply about what we do, how we do it, and the impact we make in our community. Located in Omaha's vibrant Blackstone District, where history continues to come to life, our hotel stands as a modern icon with a deep-rooted legacy. Once the historic Blackstone Hotel, The Cottonwood has become a local gem, blending timeless elegance with contemporary style. Known for its stylish charm, state-of-the-art amenities, and a level of service that continually raises the bar in the hospitality industry, our hotel stands as a tribute to the past, refreshed for a new era. Joining our team means stepping into an environment where creativity is celebrated, ideas are welcomed, and every role plays a key part in creating unforgettable guest experiences. Whether you’re welcoming guests at the front desk, crafting cocktails in our bar, or supporting behind the scenes, your work matters — and it’s appreciated. We’re proud of who we are: a team that works hard, supports one another, and genuinely loves what we do. We believe hospitality should feel personal, and that starts with how we treat each other. Here, you’ll find a collaborative, uplifting culture where you’re encouraged to grow, shine, and make a difference. If you’re looking for more than just a job — if you want to be part of a place that feels like home, where your talents are valued, and your passion has a purpose — then we’d love to meet you. Come join us at The Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel and be part of a team that’s redefining hospitality in Omaha — one guest, one moment, and one great team member at a time. Some people see a guest room. You see perfectly folded corners, sparkling fixtures, flawless finishes, and the details no one else notices—but every guest remembers. At the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel, we believe unforgettable guest experiences begin long before check-in. They start with the moment a guest opens the door to a room that feels absolutely pristine. If you're the kind of leader who notices the one fingerprint on a mirror, straightens artwork without thinking twice, and believes "clean" should always mean spotless , this might be your next great opportunity. We're looking for an Executive Housekeeper who refuses to settle for "good enough." Someone who inspires a team, raises the bar every day, and takes pride in creating one of the cleanest, most welcoming hotels in the Midwest.
