The Hire Ground is a hospitality recruitment specialist working with some of Australia's most respected venues and operators. We're proud to be partnering exclusively with Hotel Sorrento to find their next General Manager.

General Manager - Hotel Sorrento

Held by the same family for three generations, Hotel Sorrento is one of the Mornington Peninsula's most iconic hospitality destinations. Following a major redevelopment, the property continues to be recognised as one of Victoria's leading multi-venue hotels, and is now seeking an experienced General Manager to lead it into its next chapter.

This is a genuinely diverse property to run: premium accommodation sits alongside seven distinct food and beverage venues, giving the successful candidate a broad and varied commercial mandate. Trade builds to an extremely high tempo over the summer peak, when the Peninsula's seasonal visitor numbers surge, making this a fast-paced, high-volume operation for several months of the year alongside a steadier shoulder and winter season.

The role carries full P&L; accountability across accommodation and all seven food and beverage venues, with genuine autonomy and close day-to-day partnership with ownership.

The Role

- Full operational and commercial leadership across premium accommodation and all seven F&B; outlets
- Driving revenue, profitability, and performance across a diverse, multi-venue business
- Managing the operational intensity of an extremely busy summer peak trading season,



while maintaining service standards and team wellbeing year-round
- Leading the business through its next phase of growth following a significant recent investment
- Working alongside an established, experienced on-site management team
- Day-to-day partnership with ownership on strategic and commercial decisions
- Championing a values-led culture centred on family, honesty, community, and wellbeing

About You

- Proven experience as a General Manager or senior multi-site hospitality leader
- Strong multi-venue food and beverage leadership background, ideally including premium accommodation
- Experience operating in high-volume, seasonally driven environments, comfortable leading a team through an intense peak period
- Genuine commercial acumen with a track record of driving performance
- Comfort operating within a privately owned business with close ownership involvement
- A values-led, hands-on leadership style
- Openness to relocating to coastal Victoria

This role would also suit candidates without direct hotel experience who bring strong multi-site or group operations leadership across high-volume trade.

What's On Offer

- Executive salary package and premio structure
- Relocation support provided for the right candidate
- The opportunity to lead one of Victoria's most awarded and admired hospitality businesses
- Genuine autonomy, trust, and influence over the business
- Start date targeted for October to November 2026
