We have a fabulous opportunity to join our London cluster which encompasses St Martins Lane London, Sanderson London & Mondrian Shoreditch as a Guest Service Agent.

As the original lifestyle hotels, St Martins Lane London and Sanderson London sit under the Morgans Originals brand, a collection of independent hotels sharing the same spirit. Equal parts glossy, surprising and rebellious, we balance a refined outlook with careful chaos.

Always at the heart of the most exciting cultural scenes in the world, Mondrian serves up innovation and creativity with its progressive forward-thinking approach that plays with perspective and makes you dream, meaning both guests and locals alike can immerse themselves in the culture of each city it inhabits.
