General Manager — Full-Service Hotel (Chicago O'Hare)

CONFIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY — GENERAL MANAGER

Chicago O'Hare Market | Full-Service, Branded

A high-performing, full-service hotel in the Chicago O'Hare market is seeking a General Manager to lead a strong, well-positioned operation into its next chapter.

This is not a turnaround. The property has recently earned a clean brand QA result, climbed into the top tier of its competitive set on guest review platforms, and posted its strongest guest satisfaction and commercial results in years. The next GM steps into momentum and is expected to build on it.

This is a high-volume, full-service asset with multiple revenue streams across Rooms, F&B, and Events, plus meaningful airline and crew business tied to the airport market. It demands a leader who can align departments, protect margin, and keep commercial results and associate culture moving in the same direction.

Experience within a leading global brand — Marriott International, Hilton or Hyatt strongly preferred.

What success looks like in the first year:

• Continued gains in guest satisfaction and service delivery
• Strong associate engagement and lower turnover
• Disciplined RevPAR and GOP growth
• Clear accountability and alignment across the leadership team
• A trusted, productive partnership with ownership and brand leadership

The ideal leader brings:

• Proven full-service GM experience in a branded environment
• A commercial mindset with a record of top- and bottom-line results
• The ability to strengthen culture and execution at the same time
• A hands-on style with real presence on property
• Confidence operating in a fast-paced, high-expectation airport market

This role suits a decisive, accountable leader who likes elevating both people and results — and who wants to inherit a strong foundation, not rebuild one.
