About The Company
Are we right for you
Like any hotel group we expect a lot but well give a lot to get the right people. There are 4 things we look for
We want people with bags of character. We dont want you to hide your personality when youre at work, we want you to feel comfortable, to be who you are.

We want people people. Youve got to like being around others, smiling and chatting because you like people, not because someone toldyou to smile and chat.

We need extra milers. So if you think the job description is all you have to do, then were not for you.

You have to put your heart into it. When you tell a guest youre happy to help, you have to mean it.
