QT Hotels & Resorts is EVT’s premium lifestyle hotel brand, with locations in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. Pioneers behind the philosophy of ‘unexpected and unrequested’, with every guest engagement presenting an opportunity to delight, and every QT property inspired by local influence with signature quirk. And our people? With personalities as diverse as each property, individuality is more than encouraged.

EVT has an endless range of roles and careers paths to explore across over 140 entertainment experiences like Event Cinemas and Moonlight Cinemas, 150 award winning restaurants and bars, and 80+ hotels, including QT, Rydges, Atura, LyLo, Independent Collection and Australia’s most loved year round alpine resort, Thredbo.
