Running over 5,000 hotels requires a tremendous amount of effort and expertise. So, among the teams in Head Office, we have Hotel Support Services.

Within this function, you’ll find Operations Support, helping each hotel to create amazing stays. They work with Quality & Guest Experience who make sure all hotels meet our strict brand standards. Meanwhile, Facilities & Engineering keep every property in first-class condition. And thanks to Revenue Management, each hotel is commercially successful.

Our world might be extraordinary, but there’s always room for improvement. Programme & Project Management make that happen by rolling out all manner of initiatives.

IT is where some of our most exciting innovation is born. We’ve already introduced some industry firsts and we’re determined to dream up more. Here, you could be involved in simplifying everyday tasks, creating tools to lower costs or keeping vital systems safe, secure and available. The challenges grow all the time – along with the range of opportunities.
