General Manager - Hotel Sorrento - Sorrento, Vicenza, Campania, Veneto, Italy

The Hire Ground is a hospitality recruitment specialist working with some of Australia's most respected venues and operators. We're proud to be partnering exclusively with Hotel Sorrento to find their next General Manager.

General Manager - Hotel Sorrento Held by the same family for three generations, Hotel Sorrento is one of the Mornington Peninsula's most iconic hospitality destinations. Following a major redevelopment, the property continues to be recognised as one of Victoria's leading multi-venue hotels, and is now seeking an experienced General Manager to lead it into its next chapter.

This is a genuinely diverse property to run: premium accommodation sits alongside seven distinct food and beverage venues, giving the successful candidate a broad and varied commercial mandate. Trade builds to an extremely high tempo over the summer peak, when the Peninsula's seasonal visitor numbers surge, making this a fast-paced, high-volume operation for several months of the year alongside a steadier shoulder and winter season.

The role carries full P&L accountability across accommodation and all seven food and beverage venues, with genuine autonomy and close day-to-day partnership with ownership.

Driving revenue, profitability, and performance across a diverse, multi-venue business

Managing the operational intensity of an extremely busy summer peak trading season, while maintaining service standards and team wellbeing year-round

Leading the business through its next phase of growth following a significant recent investment

Working alongside an established, experienced on-site management team

Day-to-day partnership with ownership on strategic and commercial decisions

Championing a values-led culture centred on family, honesty, community, and wellbeing

Genuine commercial acumen with a track record of driving performance

Comfort operating within a privately owned business with close ownership involvement

A values-led, hands-on leadership style

Openness to relocating to coastal Victoria

What's On Offer

Executive salary package and bonus structure

Relocation support provided for the right candidate

The opportunity to lead one of Victoria's most awarded and admired hospitality businesses

Genuine autonomy, trust, and influence over the business
