✅ Ensure all permits, brand compliance, and operational licenses are in place.

What We’re Looking For:

✔️ Experience opening a new hotel is highly preferred.

✔️ A hands-on management style passionate about guest service, team development, and operational success .

✔️ Strong financial acumen , budget management, and cost control skills.

✔️ Exceptional problem-solving, adaptability, and leadership skills .

✔️ Familiarity with Hilton systems (OnQ, PEP, etc.) is a plus.

✔️ Ability to work flexible hours, including weekends and holidays, as needed .
