Hotel Manager - Switzerland

(Excellent verbal and written communication skills in German, English and Italian are desirable)

Chesa Marchetta is a gem in the Upper Engadin and the first hotel in Switzerland by the Artfarm Group.

Chesa Marchetta is part of Artfarm, a company that thoughtfully brings together art and culture with hospitality and gastronomy in extraordinary places around the world. The Artfarm Group is closely connected to Hauser & Wirth, one of the world’s leading galleries for contemporary and modern art.

Following an extensive renovation, Chesa Marchetta reopened in December 2025. The hotel combines 13 individually designed rooms, a restaurant with around 50 seats, a cocktail bar, a Private House and two event spaces. A team of around 30 people ensures that a special hotel becomes a truly special experience.

For the continued development of Chesa Marchetta, we are looking for an engaged, motivated and professional individual to join us as Hotel Manager.

You are the face and driving force behind Chesa Marchetta. As Hotel Manager, you will ensure that our guests feel personally welcomed from their very first contact through to departure, while leading and inspiring your team to deliver the same exceptional level of service.

You will manage the hotel with an entrepreneurial mindset, a strong understanding of people and high standards of quality and hospitality.

You will take overall responsibility for the day-to-day operation and commercial performance of Chesa Marchetta. As the restaurant and events business are key contributors to the hotel's overall revenue, a strong understanding of food and beverage operations, together with a genuine interest in actively shaping and developing this area, is particularly valuable.

• Building and maintaining relationships with local partners, suppliers and the regional network
• Representing Chesa Marchetta both externally and within the Artfarm Group

We are looking for a personality with a genuine passion for hospitality, leadership potential and the enthusiasm to take responsibility. For us, it is not essential that you have already managed a hotel. What matters is your motivation to develop, take ownership and grow together with Artfarm.

• Sound knowledge of the hotel and hospitality industry, together with a good understanding of day-to-day hotel operations
