About The Position

Welcome to The Indigo Road Hospitality Group (IRHG), where hospitality is more than a job; it's a family, a lifestyle, and an exciting journey. Founded in 2009 by Steve Palmer, IRHG is passionate about redefining the hospitality industry through exceptional care for our cherished guests. Approximately 1.5 hours away from Atlanta is Athens, Georgia's first luxury, boutique hotel, Rivet House.
