About the job

Regent Santa Monica Beach, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ prestigious luxury and lifestyle portfolio, introduces a new era of coastal indulgence in Los Angeles. This flagship beachfront resort features 167 expansive guest rooms and suites—among the largest in Santa Monica—starting at a generous 720 square feet and designed for elevated comfort. Each room offers spa-inspired bathrooms with soaking tubs, walk-in rain showers, double vanities, and Perricone MD amenities, alongside thoughtful Regent hallmarks that create a refined residential feel. Set along a coveted stretch of Pacific coastline, the hotel blends timeless elegance with contemporary design, delivering a truly immersive luxury experience. As the Americas flagship for Regent, the property also features a 10,000-square-foot Guerlain Wellness spa, an oceanfront pool experience, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and curated retail at The Regent Boutique.

At the heart of Regent Santa Monica Beach’s food and beverage program is Orla and Orla Bar, created by James Beard Award-winning chef and restaurateur Michael Mina. Showcasing vibrant Mediterranean and Middle Eastern–inspired cuisine, Orla brings bold flavors, fresh seafood, and elevated hospitality to the Southern California dining scene, drawing inspiration from Mina’s Egyptian heritage and the spirit of coastal markets.  Orla Bar complements the restaurant with a refined social atmosphere, featuring expertly crafted cocktails and light bites in an elegant setting at the center of the hotel.  Additional dining experiences include Azure Bar, offering sophisticated poolside dining and oceanfront cocktails, and Sweet July Café, developed in collaboration with Ayesha Curry, serving thoughtfully curated coffee, tea, and casual fare.  Together, these concepts establish Regent Santa Monica Beach as one of Los Angeles’ premier culinary destinations.
