The Independent Collection is a curated selection of hotels, each of which lives up to an exacting standard to offer travellers the best of luxury, elevated, urban, comfort and social experiences. While every hotel celebrates its own unique brand & experience, together the Independent Collection shares a passion for one-of-a-kind experiences, service and quality.
EVT has an endless range of roles and careers paths to explore across over 140 entertainment experiences like Event Cinemas and Moonlight Cinemas, 150 award winning restaurants and bars, and 80+ hotels, including QT, Rydges, Atura, LyLo, Independent Collection and Australia’s most loved year round alpine resort, Thredbo.
