Job description

Become a part of a contemporary culture that celebrates individuality, creativity, and teamwork! We are redefining the essence of hospitality and are looking for energetic, down-to-earth team players who thrive by making genuine connections, crafting experiences, and fostering good vibes.

MOLLIE ASPEN is a new, 68-room boutique hotel that occupies a prime location on Paepcke Park in the heart of Aspen, Colorado. Drawing inspiration from the inimitable Mollie Gibson, a beloved local figure known for her restless enthusiasm for the outdoors and ability to bring people together, the hotel pays homage to her significant contributions to Aspen's early social, artistic, and adventurous fabric. Designed by award-winning studio Post Company, MOLLIE's interiors are subtly inspired by the Aspen tradition of being firmly grounded while gazing abroad - a seamless blend of understated luxury and residential comfort. The property holds a quiet confidence and commitment to a reduction of excess with interiors that thoughtfully utilize native materials from Aspen and the wider Western region, accentuated with natural woods, earthen ceramics, and hand-dyed textiles. MOLLIE’s lobby fosters an inviting atmosphere for visitors and locals alike, where the eclectic mix of differing personas is celebrated and upheld. Petit Trois Le Valley opened its doors in 2018 in Sherman Oaks. This second, more spacious location is intended to feel like a lavish French Brasserie, including a gorgeous bar, banquet lined dining room, Chef’s counter in front of the open kitchen, and a second dining room which can be reserved for larger parties and private Events.

We are looking for an enthusiastic Barista who can craft and serve a wide range of specialty coffee, tea, and other beverage offerings while providing a strong sense of knowledge and hospitality to guests.
