Job description

ABOUT US

Famous for introducing cocktail bar culture to Paris in 2007, Experimental redefined hospitality with innovative cocktail bars and boutique hotels across Europe and beyond.

The group also operates venues in Porto, Venice, New York, Biarritz, and the Cotswolds.

Each of our unique destinations blends design, creativity, and exceptional service, with exciting new openings on the horizon.

IL PALAZZO EXPERIMENTAL

Il Palazzo Experimental offers 32 elegantly decorated rooms and suites designed by Dorothée Meilichzon, along with a large private garden overlooking a peaceful canal.
