Assistant Reception Manager

Contract: Full time

Overview

One Aldwych is one of the very few hotels in London, or indeed the world that can say it is truly independent. We like to think we do things differently, always with a warm, friendly spirit. Our story is very much our own to write and we invite you to become part of the next chapter.

Designed to be more than just a place to lay your head, each suite and bedroom at One Aldwych embraces a contemporary, stylish character ready to host, cocoon and enchant. Bespoke furniture and fittings were either crafted by British manufacturers or pay homage to the sense of modern, independent Britishness that we represent.

We believe One Aldwych is the hotel for Londoners at heart, wherever they might be from. For the curious minded, you have access to the finest entertainment and cultural adventures, positioned as we are on the doorstep to galleries, museums, West End theatres and the famous Royal Opera House.
