Hotel General Manager

About The Position

We are seeking an exceptional, hands-on General Manager to lead the day-to-day resort experience at one of the most unique luxury hospitality destinations in the world. This is not an office job. You will be the face, heartbeat, and culture carrier of the resort. As General Manager, you will have direct leadership responsibility for the resort’s rooms and property operations, including: Front Office & Concierge, Housekeeping, Engineering & Maintenance, Boutique Spa & Guest Services, and Overall resort presentation and guest experience. Our restaurant has its own experienced General Manager and Executive Chef. This role is focused on the overall resort experience, providing appropriate resort-level oversight and partnership while allowing the restaurant leadership team to own its operation. True luxury is not simply formal—it is personal. It is knowing a returning guest’s name, remembering their preferred cottage, recognizing an anniversary, understanding their family, and noticing what they need before they ask. You will personally engage with VIPs, repeat guests, and special occasions while building a culture where the entire team understands how to anticipate guest needs and create genuine relationships. Our goal is simple: guests should not simply stay with us—they should come back to see us.
