General Manager
Job Description
Company Description:
Finding moments of quiet in Bengaluru's IT corridor isn't easy, and that's exactly the gap Slohh by Roach Bengaluru is stepping in to fill. Join South Asia's 1st Curio Collection by Hilton, we are bringing the unhurried, authentic feel of a Malnad coffee estate right to Varthur Main Road in Whitefield.
With 221 rooms, flexible event space for up to 600 people, a sixth-floor lounge, and a dining concept built entirely around regional family recipes, this isn't your standard corporate hotel with world class amenities such as steam, sauna, spa & hammam. It's designed as an urban retreat where guests can actually slow down. As our General Manager, you will be the one bringing this unique narrative to life. Your role isn't just about running daily operations; it's about building a defining lifestyle destination from the ground up while making sure the numbers make sense.
What You'll Be Doing:
Driving the Business: You'll work hand-in-hand with Sales and Marketing to grab market share and drive revenue. We need someone who can read local market shifts, anticipate what corporate and leisure travelers want in Whitefield, and pivot strategies to maximize our yield.
Leading the Team: Real hospitality starts backstage. We are looking for a highly visible leader to mentor the executive committee and department heads. Your job is to build a culture rooted in the Curio ethos—a place where the team genuinely wants to be, and it shows in how they treat our guests.

Owning the Guest Experience: Curio is all about character. You will keep a close eye on the floor, listen to what guests are actually saying, and tweak the small details. The goal is to deliver service so intuitive that people don't just stay with us once—they become regulars.
Managing the Money: You will own the hotel's budget. This means accurately forecasting revenue, keeping a tight lid on daily expenses, and managing capital expenditures to ensure we hit both ownership and corporate profitability targets.
Protecting the Brand: From the lobby to all 221 rooms, you make sure the property looks sharp and runs flawlessly. You'll conduct regular walkthroughs to ensure we are hitting Curio's strict brand standards without losing our independent edge.
