Our client is an established upper-upscale hotel operating under an international brand, known for its high service standards and strong seasonal business dynamics. As a full-service resort with substantial volume during peak months, the property is now strengthening its operational leadership team and seeking an experienced Housekeeping Manager who will play a key role in ensuring consistent quality, operational excellence, and seamless guest experience.
