The Opportunity

An established, profitable boutique oceanfront hotel in the Hamptons seeks a Task Force General Manager, available immediately, to lead its transformation into a luxury destination with international standing. The hotel pairs the calm and precision of a quiet-luxury experience with direct beach access and a walkable village setting.

The General Manager leads the guest-experience repositioning and a disciplined financial program, with direct access to ownership.

The vision is a serene boutique hotel: quiet natural materials, custom cabinetry, flawless bedding, elegant bathrooms, carefully chosen flowers and impeccable maintenance, with the ocean as the central view from each ocean-facing room.

The Property

• Direct beach access, oceanfront terraces and sundecks, competitive amenities
• A walkable village setting, with restaurants and shops close by
• Seasonal operation with distinct spring, peak-summer and fall demand patterns

• Lead luxury design and service standards across guest rooms, arrival, beach service, housekeeping, amenities, floral design and staff training.
• Reframe pricing, yield management, dynamic revenue management. Maximize peak-night rates and build profitable shoulder-season stays.
• Deploy a connected PMS, revenue management system and daily dashboard. Produce a monthly owner P&L covering occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, booking date versus stay date, labor hours, laundry, repairs and channel costs.
• Develop premium photography, a direct-booking website, repeat-guest outreach and relationships with high-end travel advisers.
• Evaluate luxury brand partnerships to build global visibility, guest loyalty and premium positioning.
