The Brownsword Group has created arguably the most iconic collection of historic countryside and city centre hotels, all wonderful properties set within beautiful grounds and cities, all with their own stories to share. Generosity, quality, and welcoming hospitality is what they do very well. Being exceptional hoteliers has been the core of the operation, creating a successful hospitality business.

Reporting to the CEO, we are looking for an Interim Hotel General Manager to help run the day to day operation, and fulfil the core management tasks at the hotel. This will need someone with hotel management experience, who is flexible, hands on, energetic and able to make competent management decisions, in a timely manner.  The role is available on a rolling monthly contract, and would suit someone who is local to the hotel and area, although we are happy to discuss and agree this for any interested candidates not living nearby. 

Location: The Imperial Torquay is a magnificent 19th Century 152-bedroom Victorian four-star hotel, and offers breath taking sea views, plus a host of leisure facilities, making it fun and picturesque location to work in.
Just a short walk from the main train station and town centre, the hotel is really accessible for our employees.
Some staff car parking is available on site, as is free use of all the hotel's leisure facilities, including our gym and swimming pools.
Send us a Whatsapp message with FAMILYFIRST to +44 7782 822774 to find out more, chat to us and apply (or apply the normal way, whichever works best for you!)
