Opening in 2026, Meros Hotel is the newest jewel of the Santikos Collection — a contemporary expression of Cycladic grace, understated luxury, and authentic Greek hospitality.
Nestled in the heart of Naoussa, Paros, Meros is where craftsmanship meets nature, where wine, food, and architecture blend to tell a story of the Aegean’s purest essence.
Every experience is rooted in place — from our ingredient-led cuisine to the warmth of our service and the artistry of local design.
As a new opening, Meros is not just a hotel — it’s a statement of what modern Greek luxury can be.
We are seeking an experienced Hotel Manager who can bring this vision to life from the ground up: a professional with operational mastery, emotional intelligence, and a deep appreciation for the spirit of Paros.
The Role
The Hotel Manager will lead all pre-opening and operational phases of the property, translating vision into reality.
From assembling and training the team to setting service rituals and quality standards, this role is for someone who thrives in the challenge of creation — building something timeless from the very beginning.
This is not an office job.
It’s a leadership role built on presence — being on the floor, in the kitchen, by the front desk, connecting with people and shaping the rhythm of the hotel.
The Hotel Manager at Meros blends strategy with soul: delivering seamless operations, developing people, and ensuring that every guest feels the island’s spirit from the moment they arrive.
Requirements
- Lead the hotel’s pre-opening — build the team, set the standards, and prepare the property for success.
- Oversee daily operations across all departments with attention and calm leadership.
- Maintain exceptional guest experiences rooted in authenticity and detail.
- Manage budgets and performance with an eye for both efficiency and excellence.
- Build a strong team culture — one that values respect, creativity, and collaboration.
- Foster local partnerships with winemakers, producers, and artisans.
- Represent Meros and tell its story through guests, partners, and the community.
Who You Are
- A hotel professional with 7+ years of leadership experience, ideally in boutique or lifestyle properties.
- Passionate about Greek hospitality, fine food, and wine.
- Calm under pressure, empathetic with people, and detail-oriented by nature.
- Fluent in Greek and English, with a professional, guest-first mindset.
Benefits
This is your chance to lead the newest luxury opening of a respected Greek hospitality group.
To create something lasting — a place where authenticity meets design, and where every guest experience tells a story.
We offer:
- Competitive compensation and performance-based incentives.
- The opportunity to build and lead a hotel from its inception.
- Growth within a forward-thinking, family-owned hospitality group.
- A balanced, seasonal rhythm — planning in Athens during winter, leading on Paros in summer.
Santikos Collection is an equal opportunity employer, committed to diversity, authenticity, and inclusion across all its properties.
