Who We Are

Launch your culinary career with White Lodging — a hospitality company operating premium hotels, rooftop bars, and restaurants across top U.S. cities. This entry-level cook role is ideal for recent culinary school graduates, career changers, or anyone passionate about food and beverage who wants hands-on training in a professional hotel kitchen. No prior restaurant experience required.

Yacht Club is the signature fine dining seafood restaurant at Hotel Trinity, Autograph Collection — Austin's newest luxury boutique hotel, opening late 2026 at the corner of Trinity and Fifth Streets in the heart of downtown Austin. As the only Marriott Autograph Collection hotel in the city center, Hotel Trinity is a 258-room private hideaway located next to Antone's in the historic 6th Street entertainment district. Yacht Club anchors the hotel's ground floor, offering a refined yet approachable take on coastal cuisine — high-quality fresh seafood and oyster bar experiences complemented by thoughtful steakhouse offerings, seasonal menus, and an elevated wine and beverage program. Designed to be a destination for Austin locals and hotel guests alike, Yacht Club pairs polished, attentive service with a lively, social energy to create one of the city's most anticipated upscale seafood dining experiences.

Hotel Trinity, launching in late 2026 as the only Marriott Autograph Collection hotel in downtown Austin, is Austin’s finest private hideaway. Featuring a guest-only rooftop pool, world-class hospitality amenities with residential appointments, and the city’s most sought-after high-end seafood restaurant and oyster bar, Hotel Trinity offers a luxury boutique experience unlike any other—a place to work, play, and stay out of the fray.
