We love what we do and what we do is important We believe that everyone should leave feeling better – this means not just our guests, but also our teammates. Everyone should go home feeling better because they learned something new, or had fun working that day. Therefore, we hire unique individuals who work together to create amazing experiences for our guests. We recognize that every member of the team contributes to the success of the whole hotel. No-one is more important than anyone else, and unless we are in it together, we can’t create that special experience for our guest.
Your MissionShould you choose to accept it…

Using their experience, the Senior Catering Manager will sell and coordinate events in the hotel’s restaurants and dedicated event space to meet revenue goals. They are the leader of the pack with client relationships and community involvement and an exceptional collaborator within all hotel departments.
