THE HOXTON, EDINBURGH

We’ve now opened our first UK hotel outside of London…and where better than the characterful capital of Scotland, Edinburgh. We are now looking for an experienced energetic proactive Sales Manager to join our team and play a crucial part in successfully launching our brand in this new neighbourhood. Reporting to the Director of Sales, you’ll be responsible for creating and managing a portfolio of accounts driving corporate room nights into The Hoxton, Edinburgh. We’ll look to you to establish relationships with key players and grow their loyalty. If you’re great with people, have relevant experience in a hotel sales environment and are looking to join our growth journey, this is just the ticket.
The Hox in Edinburgh will boast 214 bedrooms influenced by the Georgian heritage of the building and city, a main restaurant and big lobby & bar, The Get Together, a large event space for up to 200 guests, and The Apartment - our unique meetings and events concept.

MORE ABOUT US…

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.
