This is an opportunity for a leader who believes the best way to lead is to be present, be engaged, and roll up your sleeves. You won’t be managing from behind a desk. You’ll be visible throughout the hotel, working alongside your team, connecting with guests, solving problems, and making sure every department has what it needs to succeed.

As General Manager, you’ll have a direct impact on guest satisfaction, associate engagement, operational excellence, and financial performance. From Front Office and Housekeeping to Food & Beverage, Maintenance, and Sales, you’ll bring the entire operation together around one goal: delivering an outstanding hotel experience while building a high-performing, engaged team.

• Champion associate recognition and engagement initiatives.
• Build strong relationships across every department and lead with open, consistent communication.
• Conduct daily property walks and inspections to ensure cleanliness, product quality, safety, and service standards are consistently achieved.
• Partner closely with Finance to maintain strong financial discipline, internal controls, and compliance with company policies.
• Ensure consistent adherence to all Sheraton and Colwen Hotels standards .

What We’re Looking For

You’ll be a strong fit if you have:

• 3+ years of hotel management experience , preferably with lifestyle or comparable full-service brands.
• Prior brand experience preferred.
• A genuine passion for hospitality and creating memorable guest experiences.
• Strong knowledge of Food & Beverage operations .
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
