Housekeeping Manager | Le Petit Pali St Helena

WHO WE ARE:

Palisociety is a society of unique hotels and residences — Palihouse, Palihotel, Le Petit Pali, ARRIVE by Palisociety, and a growing collection of independently branded properties. Since our first hotel opened in Los Angeles in 2009, we've grown into a nationwide portfolio of neighborhood-centric hotels, restaurants, bars, and event spaces, earning recognition from Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, the New York Times, and more.

We consider our employees our greatest asset: structured training from day one, consistent feedback, and a clear path for growth. We develop our leaders from within, because the strongest hospitality companies are the ones that grow their own.

Situated in the charming Napa Valley town of St. Helena, Le Petit Pali is a stunning resort destination perched on close to three acres, featuring 24 picturesque guest rooms and 5 standalone cottages. Guests can spend afternoons lounging by our sparkling pool or savoring a glass of local wine on our sun-drenched terrace. Offering an array of delightful amenities including welcome drinks, daily complimentary Champagne Continental Breakfast, Antipodes water, and Baci Chocolates left bedside after check-in, house-made cookies delivered to your room each night, social hours, weekly programming and so much more.
