The hotels and resorts of Colbert Collection are united by a shared sensibility; distinctive in style and driven by meaningful experiences. For the opening of our exclusive luxury hotels, we are seeking General Managers who see hospitality as passion and leadership as a calling.

Through an unwavering eye for detail, strong commercial instinct, and heartfelt leadership, you build high‑performing teams and shape destinations that resonate with guests, colleagues, and the community alike.
As General Manager, you will lead the successful pre‑opening and long‑term performance of an exclusive luxury hotel in a landmark location. You hold full responsibility for the strategic, financial, and operational management of the hotel, overseeing all front‑ and back‑of‑house departments. You are committed to achieving strong financial, strategic, and operational performance while upholding brandstandards, delivering exceptional guest experiences, and fostering a respectful, engaged team culture that reflects the values of Colbert Collection and its host country. Reporting directly to the SVP Luxury Hotels Europe & Americas, you set the foundation for operational excellence, brand positioning, and an outstanding guest experience from day one.
