That’s why we hire based on personality, and encourage our people to be the best version of themselves. Our people work in an environment that celebrates difference, welcomes imagination and creates freedom to take initiative – enabling their individuality to enrich our culture.

Throughout the employee experience, our people become essential to who we are and their feedback and guidance is sought to better the services we provide. Through a Your View platform, we seek their opinions not only on how we are doing, but how we can better the work environment, promote inclusivity and achieve belonging and purpose in what we do.

SHAPING A LEGEND

Our hotels have rich and storied pasts – but their legend is still being written today, by our guests and our employees.

That’s why our people don’t just work for us – they become an integral part of our story for years to come. The relationships they forge, the skills they bring and the ideas they share can all write a new a chapter in our history – they won’t just be joining a legend but are helping to create our legacy.
