Roundtable's Lifestyle division recruits for premium and lifestyle restaurant concepts, lifestyle hotels and resorts, beach clubs and rooftop bars, multi-purpose high energy venues, leisure and entertainment destinations, and gaming. We recruit across every function, from mid-senior management to C-level, for businesses where the standard is energy, atmosphere and a guest experience people talk about.
Lifestyle hospitality has been one of the most visible growth stories in the EMEA region over the last decade. Europe and the United Kingdom hold mature, influential lifestyle markets that set tastes and standards globally, from London’s experiential restaurants to Mykonos’s beach clubs and the new wave of boutique hotels across the Mediterranean. The GCC has scaled quickly behind them: the marina and beachfront destinations drove the first wave, new destinations across Saudi Arabia and the wider region are the next, and the social scene in Riyadh has opened up substantially since 2024. The talent layer is competitive and well connected, and pre-opening leadership is a recurring need across the segment.
That means General Managers and venue leaders, alongside the brand, marketing, commercial, finance, HR and culinary leaders who sit around them, from mid-senior management through to C-level. The full list of functions we recruit is on the Clients page.
Lifestyle recruitment moves quickly, and businesses in this segment rarely have time for a slow process. We work at the pace the market demands, draw heavily on a connected network, and assess for both the operational reliability and the energy a lifestyle operation needs in its leadership. We give honest, consultative advice to both the client and the candidate throughout.
