About this role…
We’re looking for a bold, culture-driven leader to take the reins at Tempo Louisville, Hilton’s first-ever Tempo hotel located in the heart of the city’s trendiest neighborhood—NuLu (New Louisville). This isn't your average GM gig—this is your chance to shape an energetic, design-forward hotel that blends bourbon culture, artful spaces, wellness-focused amenities, and rooftop vibes.

As General Manager, you'll set the tone for the entire guest and associate experience. From room operations and F&B to sales strategy and team development, you’ll lead with intention, creativity, and a little swagger. You'll collaborate with our corporate team to drive revenue, champion a people-first culture, and ensure this Tempo is always on beat.

What you’ll be doing…

• Cultivate a high-performing, high-vibe team that thrives on delivering standout guest experiences.

• Drive top-line revenue through collaboration with sales and revenue leaders.

• Keep expenses in check with savvy purchasing and budgeting.

• Champion a workplace culture that’s inclusive, welcoming, and rooted in excellence.

• Be the face and voice of the hotel—connecting with guests, solving problems, and creating memorable stays.

• Lead with presence, purpose, and a healthy dose of hospitality swagger.

What makes this Tempo unique?
It's the first of its kind: the debut of Hilton’s new lifestyle brand.
Located in the heart of NuLu, known for street art, indie shops, and farm-to-fabulous dining.
Features a bourbon-inspired lobby installation and rooftop bar with skyline views.
Guestrooms built for Power Up & Power Down moments—with sleek, zoned design, Bluetooth shower speakers, and Sealy Accelerate mattresses.
Thoughtfully tech-savvy: filtered still, sparkling, and alkaline water stations on every floor.
Moonsong Café + High Stakes Grill bring big local flavor to every stay.

Success Factors…
Experience & Education:

• 5+ years in hotel leadership (brand experience preferred)

• Involvement in sales/revenue management a plus

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience

Skills:

• Stellar verbal & written communication

• Confident in MS Office and hotel tech platforms

• Can hold your own in fast-paced, guest-facing moments

• Fluent in the hotel’s primary language (and the language of great service)
