Opening in early 2026, The Clayfield Hotel - part of Hyatt's Unbound Collection - is seeking a visionary General Manager to lead the pre-opening and successful launch of this luxury destination in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Nestled in the heart of wine country and designed as a four-season retreat, The Clayfield is defined by its elevated guest experiences, immersive programming, and a refined brand identity that evolves with each season. From exclusive cultural events to curated partnerships the hotel will offer rich, locally rooted programming that blends sophistication with authenticity.
