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… The opportunity to work with an exciting new hospitality concept in Madrid and have a real impact on its success. Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that’s committed to not just building new hotels but building a global brand.
