Job description

We aren't interested in creating a workforce, we build a community at our hotels.

Join an exceptional team of hospitality heroes here at our wonderful hotel, Burnham Beeches.

We are passionate about ensuring a memorable stay for our guests and strive to ensure personal service, commitment, and individuality are at the heart of all we do.

Burnham Beeches Hotel is a 4-star hotel Georgian Hotel hidden amongst 10 acres of beautiful gardens in the Buckinghamshire countryside. The hotel boasts 82 bedrooms, a leisure club, extensive conference and banqueting facilities and a restaurant.

The hotel is busy throughout the year, with a focus on hosting both leisure and corporate guests for a variety of events. From private family functions, engagement parties, baby showers and weddings to product launches, conferences, board meetings, away days and more, we deliver a little stately service, with a lot of personality.

Burnham Beeches Hotel just completed a beautiful transformation! Refreshments took place across the hotel from our suites and bedrooms in the original Manor House through to the Reception and other public areas, staying in keeping with the Manor House's fantastic heritage and historical features.

It is a fantastic time to join the hotel community and bring your own ideas, expertise, and experience whilst driving hotel business and performance.
