Groups & Events Sales Executive

At the 25hours Hotel One Central, Bedouin traditions are brought back to life and reinterpreted in a contemporary way. Here our colleagues become storytellers themselves. With a view of the Museum of the Future near the Dubai International Financial Center, everyone will find their way to us. Whether for an ice cream walk or a birthday celebration, we also enjoy spending time together outside of work. We are a colourful, diverse, professional team and love our friendly, informal culture.
