How sadly characteristic of the hospitality sector... not very hospitable!
It might help to know that your new boss is operating from a place of high insecurity and so is resorting to abusing power rather than communicating honestly about her needs and expectations. When men are out of balance and disconnected to their personal power they resort to aggression and violence. When women are out of touch with their personal power they resort to control and manipulation.
Dealing with this situation effectively will call upon you to both shift perspective on how you perceive her and the power you feel you have. It will also call for courage on your part. You don't mention who has the power to hire or fire so I assume that the boss who hired the boss must approve all hirings and firings. For some reason, you threaten her, which may not take much, but it explains why she is going out of her way to prove you must go and she must stay.
What you must do, if you truly want to stay in this job, is to build a golden bridge to her. This is right out of the book 'Dealing with Difficult People' by William Ury. Stephen Spielberg was being bullied as a teenager. When he got his first movie camera he went to the bully and asked him to be the star in his movie. The bully was thrilled and become a great ally. this is what building a golden bridge looks like. It means doing the last thing the person would expect you to do. Bullying and intimidation is intended to evoke fear. In your case, it would be fear of losing your job.
Shifting perspective:
1. See yourself as being safe and secure in your position. What you are doing is to rise above what has been presented to you to exercise a higher level of leadership than the environment you are in is currently able of supporting. You have the opportunity to raise the bar on the communication relationship and dynamic. This sets the tone for achievement in any workplace.
2. Set up a meeting with your boss. The purpose of the meeting is to establish an action plan for a better relationship with your boss. She needs to look good with her superiors and you are there to help her achieve her goals.
3. Go in with a question or two that is intended to listen to what she wants to achieve in her position. For example, you might say as an opener, "There have been some incidents that are working against your reputation as a 'group leader' (her position). None of what has happened makes you look good. For me to help you, I need to know what you want to achieve in your position here at the hotel."... Then listen. This must come from a place of confidence in yourself, a 'knowing' that you are competent and secure. Otherwise, the disempowerment you have accumulated from your treatment will take hold.
I would suggest that you do nothing more than that in the first meeting. Then watch what happens after.
These situations appear far too often when people, male or female, have developed strategies for survival that do not draw on their talents as a human.
Tackling this situation will call for you to be strong within yourself. Spend some time ahead of time visualizing the entire conversation, the room, a positive outcome, her comfort with your question, your comfort with asking it. They use visualization extensively in sports and pay athletes a lot of money. Why not at work? Best of luck.
It isn't an easy podium for your evolution as a leader but it does call forth the best of what can happen for all.
