Assistant General Manager | Lola Rose Grand Mezze

Lola Rose Grand Mezze is now recruiting for an Assistant General Manager to join the hotel’s Food & Beverage leadership team. Tucked above the buzz of Downtown, on the second floor of Thompson Palm Springs Resort, Lola Rose Grand Mezze is more than just a restaurant—it’s a journey. One that begins the moment you step into our sunlit lounge with mid-century modern aesthetics, flows through our social bar, and unfolds into an intimate dining experience where every shareable dish invites connection.

Inspired by the bold flavors and leisurely dining traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean, Lola Rose draws from cultures spanning Greece to Egypt—offering an ever-evolving menu of vibrant spreads, grains, greens, fresh Pacific seafood, and spiced, slow-braised meats. Each dish is rooted in California’s seasonal bounty and brought to life by rising star Chef Quentin Garcia, a Coachella Valley native whose global culinary journey includes Michelin-starred kitchens and a celebrated run on Chopped: Spin it to Win It. But the story doesn’t stop at the table. Lola Rose opens into a sultry indoor-outdoor lounge and poolside swim club, where craft cocktails, eclectic wines, and light bites flow effortlessly from sunlight to moonlight. With sweeping views of the San Jacinto Mountains, lively programming, and a design as transportive as the menu—gold-leaf accents, exotic textiles, and curated art—Lola Rose is a destination in every sense.

Whether you're brunching with friends, sipping cocktails at golden hour, or lingering over mezze into the night, Lola Rose pulls you in and invites you to stay a little longer.
