Company Description

We are looking for a Sales Manager Corporate & MICE to join us at The Hoxton, Lloyd Amsterdam. Reporting to our Director of Sales you will be responsible for driving revenue growth within the corporate and meetings & events segments, building lasting client relationships and positioning The Hoxton as the preferred venue for corporate stays, meetings, and events.

A city so good we had to double down In 2023 we have opened our second Hoxton in Amsterdam, this time based in the Eastern Docklands where we are lovingly taken the reins of the historic former Lloyd Hotel. This beautiful property features 136 bedrooms, including the introduction of some new rooms categories for the Hox, a large ground floor restaurant and huge outdoor terrace, a new bar and The Apartment – our unique meetings and events concept.

More about us…

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we've never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn't need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.
