Job Description
This is more than a job title. It’s a calling for someone who brings not only proven leadership but also depth, grace, and a genuine love for hospitality. We’re looking for a General Manager with character, intuition, and charisma — someone who has already mastered the art of big-brand luxury but now longs for something warmer, and more soulful. A space where hospitality is not scripted, but lived. Where attention to detail isn’t about ticking boxes, but creating moments that matter.
This boutique hotel and its award-winning fine dining restaurant in Cape Town offer just that : a place where you can lead a high-performing team, shape an unforgettable guest experience, and be part of a community that values heart as much as head. You’ll be the visible anchor of the property — hosting guests with natural warmth, working shoulder-to-shoulder with your team, and guiding the business with both wisdom and a lightness of touch.
If you're someone who finds joy in greeting returning guests by name, who knows how to create magic in the everyday, and if you’re looking for a lifestyle fit for the next chapter in your career and life, we’d love to meet you. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
