Director of Sales - The Hoxton

contact met mij op 17.38 EUR

We started doing things differently on the East London scene back in 2006 when we opened The Hoxton, Shoreditch. Back then we were labeled the 'no bull shit' hotel, because we took away everything that pissed people off in traditional hotels and did things differently. Today we've evolved, just like the neighbourhood we first started in, but that ethos of challenging the norm is still at the heart of what we do.

The Hoxton, Amsterdam is located on Herengracht with beautifully designed 111 bedrooms, a vibrant public area and Lotti's, our buzzing neighbourhood restaurant. The menu features an internationally inspired brasserie style cuisine with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. During the day, Lotti's is a place to meet, relax or work, and from Friday to Sunday the bar plays host to local DJ talent.

We're now building a series of hotels in our favourite places, finding new and exciting neighbourhoods to open our doors in. The second Hox opened in Holborn, the third in Amsterdam, our fourth in Paris and we just opened our doors in Williamsburg and Portland. Whilst we're going from one hotel to many we don't want to become a chain and we don't want our organisation to become a huge machine. There's no hierarchy here, not in the hotels or in the office. We like team players, who work hard and have fun.

It's an exciting time to be part of The Hoxton, which is growing and evolving with a young team who are passionate about everything they do.

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we've never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn't need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public.
