Life at Starwood Hotels is based on a simple idea: the world is beautiful and we want to keep it that way. But we can’t do it alone. That’s why hiring thoughtful and inspiring Team Members and Leaders who understand that our people, collaboration, stellar service, and respect for nature are so important to us.
At 1 Hotel Mayfair, London’s first nature-inspired, eco-conscious luxury hotel, we believe that hospitality should be intentional, rooted in sustainability, and crafted with care. Every element of our hotel - from design to dining - is a celebration of nature’s beauty and a commitment to well-being.
We are now seeking a passionate, guest-focused, and operations-savvy Restaurant Manager to lead the daily rhythm of our signature dining experience. This is more than a managerial role - it’s an opportunity to shape one of London’s most thoughtful and sustainable culinary destinations while creating unforgettable moments for every guest who walks through our doors.
About You...
- Passionate about hospitality and guest experience, with at least 3 years of leadership experience in a fast-paced restaurant or hotel setting.
- A strong, positive leader who can motivate, develop, and support a diverse team.
- Organized, proactive, and calm under pressure — you see challenges as opportunities to grow.
- Skilled in managing rotas, payroll, training calendars, health & safety protocols, and operational systems like Fourth.
- Confident communicator with strong interpersonal and administrative skills.
- Flexible and ready to meet the dynamic needs of a 24-hour operation.
