Banquet Captain | Maven Hotel

Why us?

The Maven is a unique 172-key hotel located in the heart of Dairy Block of LODO. Our lobby eliminates traditional boundaries, creating a connection between The Alley and hotel, becoming an inviting space to both Denver locals and hotel guests. We appreciate attention to detail, have a healthy respect for craft, and celebrate local creatives with a rotating collection of art and handmade products.

As part of Sage Hospitality Group, we passionately strive to be the best and create excellence in everything we do. We believe in enriching lives one experience at a time. More than a slogan, we empower our employees to make positive impacts on the communities in which we live and work. By providing genuine service we build relationships with our guests and value for our shareholders, and we create unforgettable experiences.

We are looking for independent thinkers. Those who harness their entrepreneurial spirit so that it breaks preconceived notions. We’re not afraid to forge our own path. After all, it’s what industry leaders do. That’s why we welcome risk takers and creative spirits alike. No matter your daily role, Sage recognizes that your success is about more than the work you do—it’s really about who you are, which is why we invest in your personal and professional growth.
