Director of Operations

About The Peninsula Beverly Hills The Peninsula Beverly Hills has always been a hotel that does things a little differently. For more than thirty-five years, we've built our reputation not simply on luxury, but on understanding people. We believe the smallest details matter, that genuine hospitality cannot be scripted, and that the most memorable experiences are often the ones guests never see. We're large enough to be ambitious, yet intimate enough that every decision matters. We know our guests by name. We welcome families across generations. We celebrate culture, food, art, beauty, and the simple pleasure of making someone feel genuinely at home. Today, we're building on that legacy. We're creating experiences that feel original, nurturing talent that wants to grow, and challenging ourselves to continually redefine what a luxury hotel can be. If you're excited by thoughtful hospitality, inspired by high standards, and motivated by the opportunity to help shape the future of one of the world's great hotels, we'd love to meet you.
