Hotel Events Executive

We can’t wait to open our first UK hotel outside of London…and where better than the characterful capital of Scotland, Edinburgh. We are now looking for a Groups & Events Executive to join our team and play a crucial part in successfully launching our brand in this new neighbourhood. Reporting to the Groups & Events Manager, you’ll be responsible for converting enquiries to drive groups, meetings and events revenue into The Hoxton, Edinburgh. The Hox in Edinburgh will boast 214 bedrooms influenced by the Georgian heritage of the building and city (including the introduction of a new room category for the Hox), a main restaurant and big lobby & bar, a large event space and The Apartment - our unique meetings and events concept. 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. 29 days holiday (including bank holidays), pension and life insurance.

• Food on us during your shift.
• Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us.
• Training to get you settled into your role with ongoing development that helps you think, make and thrive to set you up for success at work.
• An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact.

• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
• Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family.
