The Opportunity
The Property Host is the operational leader for two Weekender Hotels properties in the Southern Adirondack region, with cross-property support responsibilities at a third. Guest experience, housekeeping, supplies, vendor coordination, billing, and property presentation all live with you. You set the tone, you catch the details, and you make sure everything runs the way it should — because you care that it does, not because someone is checking.
This role reports to the Area GM, participates in an on-call coverage rotation, and moves between properties as operational needs shift across the region. It is a real leadership role.
Weekender Hotels is a fast-growing boutique hotel company with properties across the Northeast. We promote from within, invest in the people who show up, and we're expanding. The right person in this role grows with it.
Who We're Looking For
This role will thrive or struggle based almost entirely on the person in it. We're looking for someone with genuine ownership instincts — someone who takes pride in a well-run property, follows through without being reminded, and holds themselves to a high standard because that's just who they are.
The ideal candidate looks something like this:
You've worked in hospitality operations — front desk, guest services, or property management — and you're ready to run the show, not just support itYou notice what needs doing before anyone tells you. You handle it, document it, and move onYou do what you say you'll do. Every time, without exceptionYou're comfortable being the most responsible person in the building — and you take that seriouslyYou communicate clearly and professionally with guests, staff, and vendors; your word means somethingYou're organized enough to manage inventory, orders, and billing across multiple properties without things slippingYou stay calm and make sound decisions when it gets complicatedYou want to be somewhere that rewards people who actually show up and perform
