The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels inspired by the diversity and originality of the streets and scenes that surround us.

The Hoxton is coming to Dublin, Ireland!

The Hoxton is gearing up to open its very first hotel in Ireland in the beautiful capital city of Dublin. This coastal city is steeped in history, packed with green parks and brought to life through music, art and the best social eating and drinking. We’ll be calling central Dublin home but first we need to pull together a team to help us bring the Hox to this new market.

The Hoxton, Dublin will be home to 129 bedrooms of varying sizes, a lobby bar, historic bar, large ground floor restaurant and lobby restaurant, in addition to another first for us - a nightclub.

We are now looking for an experienced People & Culture Manager to join us and play a crucial role in the successful launch of our hotel, restaurants and bars.
