Maleza Palm Springs Restaurant General Manager

TMC Hospitality, established in 2016 by Philip Bates as a strategic offshoot of the renowned TMC Group, represents a forward-thinking force in the hotel development and management industry. With a vision to elevate hospitality from a mere service to a memorable experience, TMC Hospitality focuses intensely on strategic development, innovative investment, and brand creation. Their portfolio includes two distinct hotel brands, Bode and Drift, alongside Buttonwood Farm & Winery. These ventures are crafted to redefine the social group travel experience. Bode, situated in Nashville, innovatively combines the warmth and style of vacation rental homes with the personalized amenities of boutique hotels, offering guests a unique yet comfortable stay. Drift, on the other hand, is an emerging modern hotel concept with locations spanning San Jose del Cabo, Santa Barbara, and soon, Nashville. Drift caters especially to independent and group travelers seeking adventure, culture, and minimalist yet intentional luxury.

Within this dynamic hospitality landscape, TMC Hospitality proudly manages Maleza Palm Springs, a vibrant Mexico City Kitchen & Mezcal Bar located at the heart of Palm Springs.
