Cape Town, South Africa

SUMMARY:
Hospitality Hire is recruiting for a Hotel Manager for a beautifully appointed boutique property located near Durbanville, Cape Town.
This is not a large corporate hotel environment. It is an intimate, detail-driven property where leadership is hands-on, guest relationships matter, and consistency is everything.
The ideal candidate understands the rhythm of a small boutique hotel or guest house and thrives in an environment where standards, service, and personal attention define the guest experience.
We are seeking a mature, stable hospitality professional who values long-term growth, builds strong teams, and takes genuine ownership of their property.

POSITION INFO:

The Role

As Hotel Manager, you will be responsible for the full operational oversight of the property, including:
- Daily operations management
- Guest experience and service standards
- Team leadership and staff development
- Financial oversight and cost control
- Reservations and revenue optimisation
- Supplier management and stock control
- Maintenance coordination
- Ensuring seamless front-of-house and back-of-house integration
This role requires a visible, present leader who leads by example and is comfortable being operationally involved when needed.

Minimum Requirements

- Proven experience managing a small boutique hotel or high-end guest house
- Strong operational knowledge across Front Office, Housekeeping, and Food & Beverage
- Demonstrated financial acumen (budgets, stock control, reporting)
- Stable career history reflecting commitment and longevity in previous roles
- Strong leadership presence with the ability to motivate small teams
- Excellent guest engagement and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work flexible hours as required in hospitality
We are specifically looking for candidates who have demonstrated steady progression and commitment within previous roles, as this property values long-term leadership stability.

Key Competencies

- Strong managerial and organisational skills
- High attention to detail
- Professional communication skills
- Calm under pressure
- Service-driven mindset
- Commercial awareness
- Ability to maintain boutique-level standards consistently

This opportunity would suit a Hotel Manager who enjoys being close to the operation, values meaningful guest interaction, and takes pride in running a property as if it were their own.
If you have a genuine passion for boutique hospitality and a proven track record of stable leadership within small properties, we would love to hear from you.
Apply through Hospitality Hire with your CV and a brief motivation outlining your experience managing boutique properties.
