What is a Hospitalitarian?

A hospitalitarian brings the virtue of hospitality to life. Someone who, in their DNA, feels good by making other people feel good. Here at White Lodging, we know that business, like life, is how you make people feel. Everything we do is aimed to create the GRIT, the HEART and the SKILLS to build a company of hospitalitarians.

The Heart
We believe that passionate people are the most successful, both in their personal lives and at work. Through genuine care and a deep passion for people, we work to build each other and our communities up and invest in causes that capture our imagination and advance our communities.
The Skills
We expect extraordinary things from our associates. We set expectations and expect you to achieve them, empowered with the tools, resources and support of the entire company. From your first day to your last, our training and development programs are in place to enable you to achieve your best and grow each and every day.
