Sponsorship jobs in United Kingdom

United by timeless style and peerless service, Montcalm Collection is
London’s compendium of luxury hotels. Housed in elegant Georgian townhouses, an
18th-century brewery, heritage headquarters and a diamond-shaped skyscraper,
each hotel reveals a different chapter in the city’s story.

The hotels in the collection include a historic brewery, reimagined as a
vibrant modern hotel: Montcalm Brewery. A storied city-slicker, housed in the
former headquarters of the Royal Mail: Montcalm Royal London House. A property
with a bold new perspective at Montcalm East, part of Marriott’s Autograph
Collection. And a duo of mindful hotels which set a slower pace: Inhabit,
Southwick Street and Inhabit, Queen’s Gardens, both part of Design Hotels.

Our flagship hotel is on the brink of a bold new era. Its Grade
II-listed building on the cusp of Park Lane has been sensitively refreshed by
architects Holland Harvey. Interiors are being rejuvenated by Studio Mica and
Studio Est. We have added a new signature restaurant helmed by a world-famous
chef, alongside a dapper lounge and bar. Communal areas, bedrooms and suites
have all been artfully redesigned; our spa and Grand Ballroom will re-emerge as
modern icons.

Conscious, cultured, characterful, and considerate, Montcalm Marble Arch
is a five-star hotel set on a historic crescent that sits proudly at the top of
Park Lane, steps from Hyde Park and the West End, with a toe in Marylebone,
bringing a fresh, holistic hospitality approach to London luxury. The
respectful, sensitive full restoration includes a wellness space,
community-welcoming public spaces and a restaurant helmed by an internationally
acclaimed chef.
