Food & Beverage Manager - Elysee New York

The iconic Elysee New York Hotel is preparing to enter an exciting new chapter as an intimate luxury boutique hotel under the umbrella of The Leading Hotels of the World.

Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, steps from Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue, Elysee New York combines the elegance of a historic New York residence with the warmth, individuality, and cultural spirit of a European grand hotel.

Thoughtfully reimagined for today's luxury traveler, the hotel will offer a highly personalized guest experience defined by authentic hospitality, understated sophistication, emotional connection, and exceptional attention to detail.

Elysee New York is proudly managed by Crescent Hotels & Resorts, one of North America's leading hospitality management companies. Crescent operates a diverse portfolio of hotels and resorts throughout the United States and Canada, including many of the world's most respected luxury, lifestyle, and independent hospitality brands.

At the heart of the Elysee New York's experience is the hotel's intimate, residential-style Lounge, inspired by the elegance, creativity, and relaxed hospitality of Sanssouci.

More than a traditional hotel lounge, it will serve as the social and cultural living room of the hotel-a welcoming place where guests can begin their morning, gather throughout the day, enjoy afternoon refreshments, and transition into evening cocktails and conversation.

The experience will be refined but never formal, combining attentive service with the warmth and familiarity of a private residence. From breakfast and afternoon offerings to evening beverages and thoughtfully curated culinary selections, the Lounge will play an essential role in establishing the personality, rhythm, and reputation of Hotel Elysee.

Elysee New York Hotel is seeking an experienced, passionate, and highly visible Food & Beverage Manager to help shape and lead the service experience within the Lounge and across the hotel's food and beverage operations.

This is more than a traditional outlet-management position. Reporting to the Director of Operations, the Food & Beverage Manager will serve as a cultural leader, gracious host, and ambassador of the Elysee New York experience.

This individual will be instrumental in bringing the Lounge to life, establishing its service approach, developing a highly engaged team, and ensuring that every guest interaction reflects the hotel's approach to personalized luxury hospitality.

The Lounge will operate in accordance with Leading Quality Assurance standards, with the Food & Beverage Manager responsible for translating luxury quality criteria into consistent daily service behaviors, team training, operational procedures, and measurable performance expectations.

The Food & Beverage Manager will oversee the daily operation of the Lounge, beverage service, and other assigned food and beverage experiences while maintaining the highest standards of service, presentation, financial performance, team engagement, and quality assurance.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on luxury hospitality professional who leads from the floor, connects naturally with guests, develops and inspires teams, and understands that exceptional service is created through consistency, anticipation, emotional intelligence, and genuine human connection.

Joining Elysee New York Hotel is an opportunity to help shape the re-emergence of a legendary New York hotel and establish a new standard of intimate, personalized luxury hospitality.

The Food & Beverage Manager will have the opportunity to influence the identity of the Lounge, develop its service culture, create distinctive guest experiences, and build a team that will help define the hotel's reputation for years to come.

This role offers the rare opportunity to create and lead a luxury food and beverage experience from its formative stage, establishing the standards, personality, and operating culture that will support the hotel's long-term success.

At Crescent Hotels & Resorts, our associates are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to creating meaningful opportunities for professional development, career advancement, collaboration, and personal growth.

For an ambitious hospitality leader, this position provides a strong platform for progression toward future senior Food & Beverage, Director, or broader hotel leadership opportunities.

We invite candidates who believe that luxury is not defined by formality alone, but by generosity, emotional connection, thoughtful details, and the ability to make every guest feel genuinely recognized and cared for.
