About the job

The future 5-star hotel "L’Isle de Leos MGallery Hotel Collection Wellness & Spa" is located in the heart of the historic and tourist center of L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, a tourist town of 30,000 inhabitants renowned for its canals, art galleries, and 300 antique dealers open all year round.

Equipped with 49 rooms, an exceptional Wellness/Spa area L’Olivier de Leos, a bar, a bistronomic restaurant where refined cuisine meets the warm atmosphere of a traditional Provençal brasserie, and reception and seminar spaces, this unique establishment aims to be the symbol of a new form of city center hospitality.

The hotel positions itself as a grand charming guesthouse focused on well-being, welcoming each guest "like a friend" but also as a living place that tells and brings to life the spirit of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Provence.

The hotel operates in connection with the Domaine de Leos, a 41-hectare wine and olive oil estate that markets remarkable, multi-awarded products acclaimed by the greatest French chefs.

The hotel offers its guests multiple exclusive and high-end services inside the hotel, at Domaine de Leos, in the town (all cultural and tourist offerings of the town are accessible on foot), in the nearby region (Luberon, Mont Ventoux, Alpilles, and Avignon), and in Provence.

Committed to an ambitious civic and ecological approach, the hotel, which is 82% energy autonomous and has been awarded the BDM Gold label (Mediterranean Sustainable Building), defines itself as an "Eco-hotel" thus guaranteeing its guests an optimal level of energy and environmental quality.

Through the seasons, by the fireside or by the Sorgue river, between rejuvenation, Provençal cuisine, and exceptional moments in this unique place, everyone writes their own experience at Isle de Leos MGallery Collection.
