About Marc & Rose Hospitality
Practicing Genuine Hospitality Since 1962
Marc & Rose is a hospitality collective of iconic resorts and hidden gems, each rooted in its destination and united by a shared purpose: to make space for genuine hospitality. As owner-operators, we believe hospitality is more than service -- it's a daily practice rooted in empathy, curiosity, and care. Every property has its own character, but all are connected by a commitment to creating thoughtful experiences that bring people together.
Our purpose comes to life through four guiding pillars: Hands-On & Heartfelt, Sincere & Focused, Collaborative & Curious, and Always Conscientious. These values shape how we welcome our guests, support one another, and continually learn, grow, and improve.
We know that each of us is the host one day; the next, the traveler. That perspective reminds us to approach every interaction with empathy, intention, and care. It shapes how we welcome our guests, support our colleagues, and build places where people feel they belong. Because genuine hospitality isn't defined by a single role -- it's created by every person who chooses to practice it.
Working at Marc & Rose means being part of a team that takes pride in the details, invests in your growth, and believes the best experiences come from people who genuinely want to be there. Across a collection of distinctive destinations, you'll find meaningful work, room to grow your craft, and colleagues who care about doing things well.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to welcome you.
