General Manager

Private Inn

A rare and unique opportunity to lead something truly special.

Nestled in an exclusive setting, this private boutique inn offers more than refined accommodations — it’s a curated retreat designed exclusively for senior executives. Discreet, culinary-forward, and elegantly appointed, the inn blends the warmth of a private residence with the sophistication of a luxury hotel. As General Manager, you will shape its identity and daily rhythm — combining strategic leadership with the anticipatory grace of a Chief Butler.

This is a role for someone who balances operational excellence with a deep devotion to service — someone who understands that true luxury lies in the anticipatory care and thoughtful details that guests never need to request.

About the Role:

This newly created leadership role is ideal for a hospitality professional who thrives at the intersection of vision and presence. You’ll oversee every aspect of the guest experience — from team culture to culinary execution — while ensuring each guest feels known, cared for, and effortlessly at ease.

Core Responsibilities:

• Lead daily operations with a hands-on, service-first mindset that sets the tone for your team
• Manage and mentor a small, dedicated service team committed to warmth, discretion, and intuitive care
• Curate bespoke guest experiences by anticipating needs, preferences, and special touches — from arrival to turn-down — and inspire the team to surprise and delight
• Partner with the Executive Chef to deliver elevated culinary moments, from breakfast through evening offerings
• Ensure the property is impeccably maintained and presented — both front and back of house
• Serve as the primary liaison to executive guests and stakeholders, delivering highly personalized service with professionalism and discretion
• Oversee operational planning including budgeting, vendor relations, scheduling, and staffing
• Embody the presence of a host/innkeeper — attentive but never intrusive, refined yet warmly approachable

Requirements

The Ideal Candidate Will Bring:

• 7+ years of experience in luxury hospitality, boutique hotel, or estate/property management
• A leadership style rooted in grace, humility, respect, and genuine care
• The polished presence and discreet service instincts of a Chief Butler — anticipating needs before they’re expressed
• Deep familiarity with luxury standards and high-touch guest experience delivery
• Strong business acumen with a focus on team culture, financial stewardship, and property care
• A belief that the finest hospitality is discreet and often goes unseen — but is always felt
• Independent, innovative, flexible, and agile

Preferred:

• Experience in culinary-forward hospitality environments or private residence management
• Familiarity with exclusive-use properties or high-end guest service environments
• Exposure to hospitality cultures inspired by Leading Hotels, Relais & Châteaux, or five-star butler service principles

Benefits

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Comprehensive health and wellness benefits
• Housing allowance or accommodations available for the right candidate
• An opportunity to lead and shape a singular hospitality destination
• A values-driven, service-focused work environment that prizes refinement, warmth, and excellence

This is not just a management role. It’s a calling for someone who leads with presence, listens with intention, and serves with grace. If you’re a hospitality leader who understands that the smallest gestures create the most lasting impressions, we’d love to hear from you
