About the Opportunity
We are partnering with a luxury hospitality group to identify a General Manager for a private, high-touch cocktail-driven concept within an upscale hotel environment.
This is not a traditional restaurant role.
This opportunity is built for a leader who understands how to create an experience, not just manage an operation—someone who thrives in a relationship-driven, member-style environment where consistency, personalization, and presence matter.
