Overview

Margaritaville Resort Lake Tahoe is seeking an accomplished, high-energy General Manager with a passion for hospitality, people, and performance. This is a unique opportunity to lead a large, full-service lifestyle hotel in one of the most iconic destinations in the country while playing a critical role in driving financial performance, culture, and long-term asset value.

 

This role requires a seasoned hotel leader with full-service, branded hotel experience — not a first-time General Manager — who brings positivity, creativity, and resilience, along with strong financial discipline and ownership partnership skills. The ideal candidate naturally embodies the Margaritaville spirit: uplifting, outgoing, approachable, and fun, while remaining relentlessly focused on revenue growth, expense management, and guest satisfaction.

 

Just as important, the successful candidate must genuinely want to live and work in Lake Tahoe and be fully invested in the community, lifestyle, and future of the property.
