Lead Housekeeper

Join the Founding Team of Austin’s Newest Luxury Boutique Hotel

bohème is not just a hotel, it’s an experience.

Located in the heart of East Austin, bohème blends luxury hospitality, elevated design, Austin’s creative culture, and deeply personalized guest experiences into something entirely unique. Inspired by the city’s bohemian spirit and modern sophistication, bohème was created to feel intimate, soulful, design-forward, and unforgettable.

We are currently seeking a Lead Housekeeper to join our founding team and help bring this vision to life every single day.

This is not a traditional hotel housekeeping role. We are looking for someone who takes genuine pride in creating beautiful spaces, understands the importance of details, leads by example, and wants to help shape the culture and standards of a brand-new luxury boutique hospitality concept from the ground up.

About the Role

As Lead Housekeeper, you will play a critical role in maintaining the presentation, cleanliness, organization, and overall guest experience across the property. This role is both hands-on and leadership-oriented—you will work alongside the housekeeping team daily while also helping support scheduling, inspections, inventory management, and operational excellence.

The ideal candidate is highly detail-oriented, calm under pressure, adaptable, proactive, kind, and capable of maintaining luxury-level standards in a fast-moving hospitality environment.

This role works closely with the General Manager and leadership team to ensure bohème consistently delivers an elevated and memorable guest experience.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous housekeeping or hospitality experience preferred

• Leadership or supervisory experience strongly preferred

• Fluent in both English and Spanish preferred

• Strong time management and organizational skills

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment

• Positive attitude and strong work ethic

• Hospitality-first mindset

• Exceptional attention to detail

• Ability to problem solve calmly and professionally

• Someone who naturally wants to go above and beyond

Compensation & Benefits

• Full-Time Position

• Starting at $22/hour

• Performance-based bonus potential

• Health Insurance

• Vision Insurance

• Dental Insurance

• Rotating schedules

• Opportunities for growth within Elysian and bohème

• Opportunity to help shape and grow a luxury boutique hospitality brand from the ground up

Why bohème?

At bohème, we believe hospitality should feel personal, thoughtful, and emotionally memorable. Every interaction, every room, and every detail matters.

We are building a team of people who care deeply about creating experiences—not just completing tasks.

If you’re someone who takes pride in your work, values hospitality at a high level, and wants to be part of something exciting and meaningful in Austin, we’d love to meet you.
