Apartment Bartender

We are looking for a charismatic Bartender to shake things up with us as part of the team at The Hoxton, Holborn in our Apartment space.

The Hoxton Holborn was the second Hox to join the fam, taking over a Grade II-listed building that was once the factory of George Kent, a famed maker of gadgets and instruments (among them a knife sharpener/cleaner now sitting in the Science Museum, no less).

After Kent, BT moved in, and now this former telephone exchange is home to 220 bedrooms (expanding from the original 174) and the Apartment, plus our foodie hotspot Rondo, all a stone’s throw from the capital’s most famous shopping and entertainment districts…

What you'll do...

• Create a fun and relaxed atmosphere where guests come to wind down and enjoy themselves
• Make whatever the mood calls for, from soft drinks to masterful cocktails that change with the seasons

• Make every guest feel right at home with warm service, good vibes, and a welcoming atmosphere
• Keep cool when the bar gets buzzing, handling busy services and high-volume events like a pro
