Company Description
Part of the Accor portfolio, The Clarence Hotel Sydney, soon to be part of the Handwritten Collection, has recently opened with a buzz in its central Sydney CBD location near Wynyard, Pitt st Mall, Barangaroo and Darling Harbour.
Clarence is in the funky part of town, where the buildings operate large business deals by day, and the nightlife is a plethora of hidden bars and lane-ways of entertainment. The Clarence Hotel Sydney features 50 hotel rooms, gym, and soon to come a Restaurant and a Bar once all stages are complete.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone ready to take the next step in their career and make a meaningful mark within Accor. The role will suit someone looking for a fresh challenge—someone who isn’t afraid to take on responsibility, be fully accountable, and work closely with a young, small team. You’ll be joining a property undergoing growth and transformation, led by a dynamic and forward-thinking General Manager who is passionate about mentoring emerging leaders. If you're ambitious, hands-on, and eager to build a long-term future with Accor, this role offers the platform, visibility, and support to help you thrive. Available to start as soon as possible.
