Bar + Rooftop General Manager

Hotels done differently. It's not just a slogan or catchphrase, it is who we are in everything we do. We believe in the power of People, Place and Character; ensuring our properties are a place where individuals are valued and celebrated as a tribute to the neighborhoods and the people of the communities in which we operate; elevating our associates' pride in who they are, where they live and who we serve.

Hewing Hotel is in Minneapolis' vibrant North Loop neighborhood, more commonly known as the Warehouse District, joining cultural stalwarts Traffic Zone Center for Visual Arts and Target Field, home to baseball's Minnesota Twins. With easy access to all interstates as well as Minneapolis' Metro Transit Blue Line and Northstar Commuter Rail, The Hewing sits at the literal crossroads of the Twin Cities.

While Minneapolis presents a plethora of hospitality options, none tap into the local culture to create importance and significance beyond the business traveler. The Hewing occupies the historic Jackson Building, originally built in 1897, at the gateway to the Warehouse District, immediately tying it to local culture like no other competitor.

Since its founding, Aparium has grown into a new kind of hotel brand, one that ventures off the beaten path, both geographically and philosophically. It is a sophisticated hotel brand known for its singular ability to combine the business acumen of large hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels, bringing the disparate forces together in bustling, smaller markets.

The Bar + Rooftop General Manager reports directly to the Director of Food + Beverage. All leaders of Aparium are required to get their hands dirty, unearth existing opportunities and personally ensure that systems, processes, culture and the guest experience are always improving. Having the ability to be a soldier is as critical as being a general.

The Bar + Rooftop General Manager will be involved with the planning, execution and growth of Hewing Bar + Lounge's as well as Hewing Rooftop's food and beverage program. They will lead the team by example, spending the majority of their time engaged in service; supporting and coaching associates, actively participating in service at the door and table and establishing personal connections with guests. Hewing encourages their leaders to inspire, encourage and challenge each other to be their absolute best; they will partner with the Culinary team on delivering on our unique brand of translocal hospitality.
