General Manager

Do you live and breathe hospitality? Join the legendary Lincoln Marriott Cornhusker Hotel—an icon that has defined warmth and elegance for nearly 90 years. Here, professionalism, teamwork, and heartfelt service aren’t buzzwords; they’re our daily rhythm. We recruit only the masters of their craft, people who obsess over the details because they know the smallest touches make the biggest memories. If you’re ready to elevate every interaction and leave a legacy of delight, we are in search of a General Manager who will be responsible for delivering operational excellence and memorable guest experiences while fostering a positive, high-performance culture.

Success in this role will be measured by the achievement of financial goals, guest satisfaction scores, associate engagement results, and the hotel's continued reputation as a pillar in the Lincoln community. If you are a results-oriented leader passionate about hospitality, team development, and community engagement, we invite you to explore this exciting opportunity with us.

As part of the Marcus Hotels & Resorts family, we take pride in being the city’s benchmark for comfort, elegance, and celebration. Our hotel is more than a place to stay—it’s a destination where guests come to connect, be inspired, and enjoy the magic our team brings to life every single day. With 300 beautifully appointed rooms and over 46,000 square feet of event space, our property hosts everything from business conferences to weddings. You'll be at the center of it all, surrounded by stunning features like our grand staircase, modern amenities including an indoor pool and state-of-the-art fitness center, and dining options such as the Café and Miller Time Pub & Grill.
