Job description

Set in the historic former Lloyd Hotel in Amsterdam's Eastern Docklands, our second Hoxton in the city is home to 136 rooms, a stylish restaurant and terrace, a bar and The Apartment: our unique meetings and events concept. It's an exciting time to join as we continue to grow the meeting and events business.

What Hox Is All About...

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 spaces.

What’s In It For You…

• Join a creative, supportive team that loves great hospitality.
• A gross monthly salary between €2,600 - €3,200 (based on 38 hours contract) depending on your experience and the skills you bring to the role.
• 25 holiday days (plus public holidays).
• Lunch provided at work
• Free overnight stay and dinner for two when you join.
• Plenty of opportunities to learn, grow and develop.
• Swapfiets and Urban Sports Club discounts.
• Team socials (monthly High Fives), volunteering days and wellbeing support (OpenUp).
• Great discounts across The Hoxton and Ennismore hotels.
