Known for strong brand equity and unique guest experiences, the company specialises in heritage, sustainability, community engagement, and cultural immersion. The mission is to provide enriching experiences that leave a lasting, positive impact, creating a Malaysian-owned hospitality company dedicated to boutique hotel management and investment.

We are seeking a Hotel Manager with strong strategic and financial insight to help shape the next chapter of our boutique hospitality journey. This is not just an operational role; it’s a leadership position for someone who can balance the books, see around corners, and position the hotel for long-term success.

What You’ll Do

• Strategic Leadership: Work closely with ownership to define and execute the hotel’s vision, ensuring operational decisions align with long-term growth.
• Financial Management: Lead budgeting, forecasting, and P&L oversight; optimize revenue streams; monitor KPIs; and ensure healthy profit margins.
• Commercial Insight: Drive yield management, distribution strategy, and pricing decisions to maximise occupancy and ADR while safeguarding brand positioning.
• Operational Oversight: Ensure smooth day-to-day hotel operations across rooms, F&B, guest experience, and back-of-house, empowering department heads to deliver at a high level.
• Team Development: Mentor and guide staff, creating a culture of accountability, excellence, and guest-centric service.
• Owner Partnership: Act as the bridge between ownership and operations, providing clear reporting, actionable insights, and independent recommendations.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in hotel or resort management (boutique or luxury segment preferred).
• Strong financial acumen: confident in P&L analysis, revenue management, and cost control.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to balance long-term vision and day-to-day realities.
• Commercially savvy, with experience in distribution channels, online bookings, and market positioning.
• Strong leadership skills: able to inspire teams, hold accountability, and elevate guest experiences.
• Hands-on but also able to step back and manage with perspective.

Why Join Us

We are a hotel company renowned for our storytelling, design, and exceptional guest experiences that exceed the ordinary. As part of our leadership team, you’ll have the opportunity to shape not just operations but the future growth of the hotel and its wider collection of properties.

• If you’re looking for more than just running a hotel — if you want to grow a brand, build a legacy, — we’d love to meet you.
