FAQs on Salaries for General Manager, Hotel Jobs

Researching Hotel Management Salaries

What is the typical salary for a hotel manager? Do hotel management salaries vary by state or city? What is the salary for a hotel manager with more than 10 years of experience? These common questions can all be answered with PayScale's hotel salary survey data.

From small, family-run hotels to huge resorts, a range of options exist for those who are considering a career in hotel management. Of course, both the responsibilities and the salary for a hotel manager may be very different depending on the size of the hotel. Other factors that can have a major influence on hotel management salaries include the location of the hotel and the manager's experience level. Comparing Hotel Management Salaries by Company Size, it's clear that choosing to work for a larger hotel could be a very lucrative decision; median hotel management salaries at the largest hotels are more than twice as high as the median salaries at the smallest hotels. If you're wondering which locations offer the best hotel management salaries, view the chart on Hotel Management Salary by City. New York City definitely stands out, offering a median hotel management salary range that is significantly higher than any of the other cities on the chart. Some hotel managers may prefer to live in a smaller city or work in a more intimate setting, thus giving up potentially higher salaries in favor of other perks. For any general manager, salaries can increase dramatically after several years of experience. View the Hotel Management Salary by Years of Experience chart to see the progression of median hotel management salaries over the course of 20 years.
