Hotel Manager - Switzerland

Hotel Manager - Switzerland
(Excellent verbal and written communication skills in German is essential)

Chesa Marchetta is a gem in the Upper
Engadin and the first hotel in Switzerland by the Artfarm Group.

Chesa Marchetta is part of Artfarm,
a company that thoughtfully brings together art and culture with hospitality and gastronomy in extraordinary places
around the world.
The Artfarm Group is
closely connected to Hauser &

leading galleries for contemporary and modern art.

Following an extensive renovation, Chesa
Marchetta reopened in December 2025. The hotel combines 13 individually
designed rooms, a restaurant with around 50 seats, a cocktail bar, a Private
House and two event spaces. A team
of around 30 people ensures that a
special hotel becomes a truly special experience.

For the continued development of Chesa Marchetta, we are looking
for an engaged, motivated
and professional individual to join us as Hotel Manager.

You will take overall responsibility for the day-to-day operation and commercial performance of Chesa

Marchetta both externally and within the Artfarm Group

What You Bring

We are looking
for a personality with a genuine passion
for hospitality, leadership potential and the
enthusiasm to take responsibility. For us, it is not essential that you have
already managed a hotel. What matters is your motivation to develop, take ownership and
grow together with Artfarm.

Ideally, you will bring:

·

Manager, Assistant General Manager, Operations Manager or similar role

Sound knowledge of the hotel and hospitality industry, together with a good understanding of day-to-day hotel
operations

developing and inspiring

and a passion for delivering exceptional service and hospitality

A good understanding of food and beverage operations and ideally experienced in restaurants or events

·
An entrepreneurial mindset and a good understanding of figures and commercial
relationships

·
Strong organisational skills, decisiveness and a hands-on approach

·
A good instinct for people, situations and the individual needs of our guests

·
A proactive approach
and enthusiasm for a dynamic
work environment

·
Strong verbal and written communication skills in English and Italian is desirable

We are particularly interested in meeting
someone who knows
the Engadin, feels connected to the
region and has a genuine
understanding of its people, culture
and particular character. We also
welcome individuals who bring experience from upscale leisure
hospitality and are looking to establish themselves in the Engadin for the long
term.

What We Offer

Chesa
Marchetta is part of Artfarm,
an international group that develops
and operates distinctive
places, properties and cultural projects.

You can expect a position with
significant responsibility, short decision-making paths and the opportunity to
actively shape a property during an exciting phase of its development.

Chesa Marchetta offers the opportunity
to take ownership, contribute ideas and develop both professionally and personally. You will have the opportunity to grow with the hotel and gradually take on greater responsibility.

As Artfarm continues to
expand its presence in the region, exciting opportunities within the group may
arise over time – potentially including cross-property responsibility. The
position therefore offers the opportunity to grow with the role and the wider group over the long term.
