Property Description

Imagine this: A beautiful environment boasting 288 wooded acres. A breathtaking panoramic view of the Monterey Bay. A prestigious historic site. An established company offering security, competitive wages, health benefits, and much more. Opportunities for growth. Great management. Extraordinary employees.

Now imagine being employed at such a place located in one of the most exquisite coastal areas of California, and you will see a few of the advantages of working with Benchmark Hospitality International at Chaminade, in Santa Cruz, California. Chaminade is a Conference Center/Resort managed by Benchmark Hospitality International, a leader in the management of upscale resorts, conference centers, and country clubs. Chaminade's employees enjoy all of the benefits of working for a company that values every member of its employment team. Our belief is that it truly is the employees who are most responsible for our success.

Our property offers our guests a peaceful, secure place to vacation or to conduct business meetings. The property features state-of-the-art meeting facilities, team building and ropes challenge courses, 156 newly renovated guest rooms including executive suites, a complete fitness center and spa in addition to hiking trails, swimming pool, and tennis courts, and the latest in audio/visual and computer equipment. Our guests come to our retreat-style setting from all around the globe.

Chaminade is unique not only because of its appealing environment, but also because of its long history. Once a boys' seminary offering the teachings of French Priest Father Chaminade, the buildings still retain their Spanish mission-style flavor. Employees are given ample opportunity to relate for our guests the fascinating story of this historic site.

Chaminade's underlying philosophy is the foundation of our success. It is based on having employees who possess a great attitude, who enjoy teamwork, and who value respect. This is what we call "ATM" (Attitude, Teamwork, and Mutual Respect) and it allows our employees to work together with the conviction that they can be themselves and "work happy" in a safe and secure environment. We offer equal opportunity employment opportunities to all applicants. Join us!
