About Midnight Auteur

Midnight Auteur was born from the successful partnership between The Ramble Hotel in Denver and Death & Co, which began almost six years ago when the storied bar opened its second location in the lobby of The Ramble Hotel. With a shared intention among founders to build and operate hotels that immerse guests fully and seamlessly between social spaces and retreat - offering a setting fit for both celebration and sanctuary - our new hospitality company was created. The cocktail anchored experience at The Ramble Hotel, one in which the lobby is interchangeable with the bar, resulted in numerous accolades and awards, including Esquire's Best Bars in America in 2019, North America's 50 Best Bars in 2022 and noted by Condé Nast Traveler as 'the hotel for people who are sick of other hotels.'

As a company we hold a deep, and slightly obsessive, reverence for the all-day lobby bar, which is really the foundation of Midnight Auteur. We love the idea of immersing our team and our guests in a vibrant, celebratory experience that only a hotel lobby bar can appropriately capture. The community created and hospitality shared over a coffee or cocktail is something we're passionate about, while remaining equally committed to providing a luxury respite for our hotel guests.

Altogether, the Midnight Auteur team is passionate about actively evolving hotel, cocktail and culinary culture, being a progressive and forward-thinking operator, and making a positive impact on its communities. We look forward to hearing from you

Cheers

This role requires technical expertise, exceptional communication and organizational skills, and the ability to mentor and inspire team members to achieve their full potential.
