From international business groups and corporate meetings to special celebrations and group stays, great organisation is at the heart of every successful booking. And as our Groups & Events Intern, you'll play an important role in making that happen! You'll be involved in the entire journey, from the initial enquiry and preparing proposals to the final preparations before arrival and the follow-up afterwards.

As a Groups & Events Intern, you'll support our Groups & Events team in coordinating group reservations and events across our hotels in Amsterdam. You'll work closely with different departments and have plenty of opportunities to develop your commercial, organisational, and communication skills.

During your internship, you'll learn how to work with our Property Management System, MEWS, and gain insight into the commercial and operational processes of a hotel organisation. You'll gradually take on more responsibility and have the opportunity to manage enquiries independently.
