Summary
Lola Rose Grand Mezze is now recruiting for a Chef de Cuisine to join the hotel's culinary leadership team.
Tucked above the buzz of Downtown, on the second floor of Thompson Palm Springs Resort, Lola Rose Grand Mezze is more than just a restaurant-it's a journey. One that begins the moment you step into our sunlit lounge with mid-century modern aesthetics, flows through our social bar, and unfolds into an intimate dining experience where every shareable dish invites connection.
Since opening in 2024, Thompson Palm Springs has quickly established itself as the desert's most coveted lifestyle resort in the heart of downtown Palm Springs. Showcasing iconic mid-century modern design, bungalow-inspired accommodations, iconic dining, and vibrant social experiences, the resort has become a sought-after destination for discerning travelers, luxury weddings, milestone celebrations, brand activations, corporate retreats, and high-profile events.
The resort features Lola Rose, a bold Eastern Mediterranean dining experience inspired by the spice markets of Istanbul and the seasonal bounty of California, alongside Bar Issi, an elevated coastal Italian concept that blends relaxed luxury with coastal culinary sophistication. Two expansive pool experiences, immersive mountain views, the HALL Napa Valley Tasting Room, and over 35,000 square feet of dynamic indoor and outdoor event venues provide endless opportunities for unforgettable gatherings.
Thompson Palm Springs was recently recognized among Condé Nast Traveler's Top 10 Best New Hotels in the World (2026) and ranked the #1 Hotel in Southern California in the Condé Nast Readers' Choice Awards (2025).
