About this role
Nightsky
Nightsky San Luis Obispo is an elevated, nature-immersive hospitality experience set atop a hill with sweeping views of the Nine Sisters. Designed for connection, rejuvenation, and simple-but-beautiful moments, our luxurious eco-tents, al fresco gathering spaces, and curated activities offer guests a refined, comfortable immersion in nature.
Our personality is warm, adventurous, neighborly, stylish yet approachable. We believe in the power of shared humanity, in balance, in embracing natures rhythm, and in taking it easy while delivering thoughtful, meaningful hospitality.
Set within Nightsky, Marcerro features a creative and cleverly-designed F&B program to minimize service complexity while guests are encouraged to mingle together through communal programming for a memorable experience. Marcerro —a name born from the union of mar (sea) and cerro (hill)—pays homage to the stunning natural convergence of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Lucia Mountains that cradle our site. This unique positioning inspires everything we do, from the ingredients we source to the atmosphere we create.
We operate a streamlined, light-touch service model—where guests may encounter only a few hosts, but every detail feels curated, intentional, and inspired by the natural world around us.
