Absorb the abundance. Ace Hotel Sydney seeks kind, curious and industrious humans to join our team.
Ace Hotel Sydney is our first-ever spot in Australia, set in the verve of Surry Hills. Inspired by the neighbourhood’s vibrant rhythm, Ace Sydney is home to a bustling public Lobby alive nearly nightly with DJs and performers, a rebellious art program and sunken lounge just off the Lobby bar. We’ve also got three distinct restaurants: our hatted restaurant Kiln; our oasis for fresh, seasonal fare called LOAM; and a day-to-night laneway café, Good Chemistry. Now all we need is you.

Beyond this, you will step up as a mentor to guide, train, and support our junior chefs.
