About Joie de Vivre Hospitality
Joie de Vivre means "Joy of Life."
Started in San Francisco more than 20 years ago, Joie de Vivre has built a reputation for creating one of the most unique collections of lifestyle businesses in the U.S. including hotels, restaurants and spas throughout California.
We set ourselves apart by taking a conceptual approach to the creation of our properties: from the literary inspired Hotel Rex in San Francisco's Union Square to the warm, saavy and handsome, Hotel Angeleno in the heart of Brentwood in Los Angeles, each property presents its own dynamic personality.
The Joie de Vivre brand personality has a lot in common with the California lifestyle: fresh, inventive, casual, and grass-roots oriented. Our diverse California collection includes more than 30 hotels, almost 20 restaurants and bars, and four day spas. Our Joy of Life Club includes more than 30,000 members and is one of the most successful boutique hotel loyalty programs in the country. Joie de Vivre Hotels is proud to be California's largest independent boutique hotel company.
People Matter Here.
As a hospitality company, our people are at the heart of what we do. At Joie de Vivre, our "Service is The Heart" philosophy recognizes that before profitability and guest satisfaction, we must create a positive, enthusiastic workplace for our employees. Our management and company leaders exist to serve our staff. In turn, they create a wonderful atmosphere of service and personal connection with our guests.
The unique culture that has grown around this philosophy contributes much to our success as a company. The enthusiasm, entrepreneurialism, vibrant diversity, commitment to developing our people and celebrating the joys of life that are the hallmarks of our company culture have earned us accolades from outside our JdV world as well. In the Bay Area's competitive labor market where we compete against incredible companies like Google, Pixar and Levi's for talent, we were awarded the #2 spot in 2008 on the Business Journal's "Best Places to Work in the Bay Area" - that includes Silicon Valley, East Bay and San Francisco - in the category of big companies.
