An Equal Opportunity Employer 

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego: As authentic, passionate, irreverent and unpredictable as music itself. 

Backstage, green rooms and red carpets. Working at Hard Rock Hotel San Diego is not quite like working at a vanilla hotel. Hard Rock's team is as passionate and authentic as rock itself. Our mission is to serve from the heart: An entourage of staff hell-bent on working with the best, being the best, and delivering an experience guests will actually want to talk about. After all, this is Hard Rock and the ordinary and staid will not do. 

If you kick ass at what you do, and have a true passion for service and music, separate yourself from the crowd and be noticed.
