Exceptional Hospitality Starts with You

Picture yourself brightening someone's day. When you join our Hotels team, that's exactly what you'll do every time you come to work! As an Executive Chef, and success of all hotel culinary operations - you're spreading the light and warmth of hospitality by delivering memorable experiences that make the stay for every guest.

NoMad is a globally celebrated hospitality brand recognized for its timeless design, gracious service, and award-winning food and beverage programs. Since the opening of the original NoMad New York, the brand has become synonymous with exceptional dining experiences rooted in classical technique, contemporary creativity, and genuine hospitality.

The original NoMad New York earned a Michelin Star and international acclaim for its culinary program. The NoMad Bar was recognized as the #1 Bar in North America and #3 Bar in the World by The World's 50 Best Bars. More recently, Side Hustle at NoMad London was awarded Best International Hotel Bar in the World at the 2025 Spirited Awards.

NoMad Detroit represents the next evolution of this legacy. The Executive Chef will play a defining role in establishing a culinary destination that honors the values of the brand while embracing Detroit's vibrant culinary community. This is an opportunity to build something meaningful alongside a team committed to craftsmanship, creativity, and exceptional hospitality.
