Be part of something extraordinary!
Are you ready to join one of London’s most iconic Lifestyle Brands?
Welcome to The Other House, a Residents Club, where we’re not just redefining the hotel market, we’re re-writing the rules.
Imagine an extraordinary place where the comfort of home meets the service of a hotel and the facilities of a private club. Each of our Residents Clubs will blur the lines between hotels, residential living and an exclusive private club which all our residents can enjoy. Think beautifully designed club flats, amazing public areas with an all-day street café and destination cocktail bar, and access to private club lounges, a great gym, spa and well-being area. A place where you can relax, work or play whatever your mood, for as long as you are in town - be it a day, a week, a month, or a year.
Our first property in beautiful South Kensington, opened in the summer of 2022 to great acclaim. Our next property, The Other House Covent Garden nestled in the heart of theatre land in the West End, is due to open soon and we have acquired another site in Belgravia, which means plenty of progression opportunities! Whilst our initial focus is to build the brand in central London, (arguably the best capital city in the world!) the venture will roll out globally, catering for aspirational business and leisure travellers everywhere, whatever their length of stay.
Ready to be part of a team that’s rewriting the rulebook on hospitality?
As a Purchasing Assistant, you will play a crucial role in supporting the procurement function, ensuring that all FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) and OS&E (Operating Supplies & Equipment) are sourced, ordered, and delivered efficiently.
