Why us?

The Ben, Autograph Collection

Overlooking the Palm Harbor Marina in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach, The Ben draws inspiration from the spirit of Byrd Spilman Dewey’s historic Ben Trovato estate, once known as a lively gathering place for Palm Beach society. Today, the hotel carries that legacy forward as a waterfront destination where locals and visitors come together for conversation, celebration and a sense of discovery. Design details throughout the property reflect the curiosity and adventurous spirit of Florida’s early pioneers, creating spaces that feel both playful and refined. From rooftop views over the Intracoastal Waterway to vibrant dining and social spaces, The Ben embodies the kind of place that invites people to linger, connect and experience West Palm Beach in a distinctly local way.

As part of Sage Hospitality Group, we passionately strive to be the best and create excellence in everything we do. We believe in enriching lives one experience at a time. More than a slogan, we empower our employees to make positive impacts on the communities in which we live and work. By providing genuine service we build relationships with our guests and value for our shareholders, and we create unforgettable experiences.

We are looking for independent thinkers. Those who harness their entrepreneurial spirit so that it breaks preconceived notions. We’re not afraid to forge our own path. After all, it’s what industry leaders do. That’s why we welcome risk takers and creative spirits alike. No matter your daily role, Sage recognizes that your success is about more than the work you do—it’s really about who you are, which is why we invest in your personal and professional growth. We hope you consider joining us!
