    The Elene

    Chef job in Napa, CA

    , NAPA VALLEY Imagine standing where dawn first breaks over Napa Valley-where the sun's earliest rays illuminate vineyard rows and endless possibility unfolds. This is The Elene, Greek for "shining light." Opening July 2026, The Elene is a 50-room luxury resort where elegance meets intimacy in Wine Country's most elevated form. We're not building another hotel. We're creating a place where comfort invites you to be exactly who you are-where culinary artistry, radical connection, and the soul-stirring beauty of Napa converge into something genuinely transformative. THE EXPERIENCE Under the culinary direction of an acclaimed chef, our food and beverage program celebrates landscape and community through Italian technique and Napa terroir. A chef-driven restaurant. An artisan cafe pulsing with morning energy. Poolside moments enhanced by thoughtful service. Event spaces that hold everything from intimate gatherings of 40 to vineyard-view celebrations for 250. But the real magic? It's in how we frame nature. How we build opportunities for unprecedented fun and vulnerability. How we prioritize human connection over flash and formality. With a stabilized Average Daily Rate exceeding $900, The Elene represents conscious luxury at its finest-deliberate, impactful hospitality where excess has no place and every detail serves the guest experience. MOSAIC HOTEL COLLECTION The Elene joins the distinguished Mosaic Hotel Collection-a family of Northern California boutique properties including El Dorado Hotel in Sonoma, North Block Hotel in Yountville, The Madrona in Healdsburg, Olema House in Point Reyes, and Campos Polanco in Mexico City. Under the stewardship of Palisades Hospitality Group, each Mosaic property reflects an authentic connection to the place. The Elene will illuminate Napa Valley's essence like nowhere else.

We're looking for collaborators who are considered in their approach, human in their interactions, and alive with curiosity. People who understand that real luxury is quality time and meaningful exchanges. Who knows that the best hospitality suggests rather than prescribes. Ready to find your light at The Elene?
