ARCHER HOTEL NAPA 

Director of Operations | JOB DESCRIPTION 

LodgeWorks is actively hiring for a Director of Operations 

Who we are 

LodgeWorks is a privately held hotel development and management company. While our name isn’t on the hotels themselves, our extraordinary culture is at the heart of our 18 hotels — including our award-winning Archer Hotel boutique collection and our portfolio of other great brands with familiar names, such as Hyatt Place, Hyatt House, Aloft, Hilton Garden Inn and Hampton Inn. 

We’re thrilled to be considered industry innovators with a rich 35 year history. Yet, what we are most proud of is the strong family culture we have developed and maintained while growing to 950 employees nationwide. At LodgeWorks, hospitality is more than just the industry in which we work; it defines everything we do. Maybe it’s because we’re grounded in Midwestern hospitality (our home office is in Wichita, Kansas, while our hotels are scattered across the U.S.). Or maybe it’s because we actively work to make hospitality (with each other, our guests, our clients and partners) the foundation upon which everything is built.
