What types of internships do you offer?
Many of our properties offer internships up to 18 months in various departments, starting at different times of the year.
Are there requirements for some internships?
Some properties have specific requirements such as fluency in certain languages or availability of training in certain departments only. If you are interested in a particular property or department, please apply directly to the location of your choice.
How do I apply?
Please do not send your email/resume to all locations. Instead, be selective about the properties to which you apply based upon your geographic preference and language ability.
Do you offer management training?
Management training opportunities, when available, are displayed on our web site. Available positions are listed in our
career search; send applications directly to the location with the open position.
What job opportunities are available in the US for international candidates?
On occasion, our properties will apply for a visa on behalf of an international candidate, either for purposes of training or temporary full-time positions. This decision is made locally by each property based on job availability and business needs. Available positions are listed in our
career search; send applications directly to the location with the open position.
Our non-U.S. locations will, on occasion, apply for a work permit on behalf of a non-local national candidate. This applies only to certain executive positions and varies by location and depends on local work authorization laws.
For other positions, most international locations will require fluency in the local language and several years of prior luxury service experience, preferably in their geographic region.
The exceptions are our properties in the Gulf region: Bahrain, Dubai, Doha and Grand Cayman (in the Caribbean), where most workers come from all over the world and work permits can be arranged if there is a suitable open position.
Available positions are listed in our career search; send applications directly to the location with the open position.
How do I apply for a position at an upcoming destination?
There will be employment opportunities in all departments and at all levels at all our upcoming destinations. Please re-visit our employment web site approximately four months prior to the scheduled opening date. You will need to create a user ID and then follow the steps outlined on the site.
Starting in mid-2007, you will also be able to set up a Job Alert that will automatically email you when a position that meets your specifications opens.
Once you have identified a position you feel you meet the qualifications for, you may go ahead and apply on line directly to the property.
