MLG is located within walking distance from Stratford International Station and Westfield Shopping Centre.

The Stratford Hotel, Autograph Collection by Marriott is a design hotel set within the first 6 floors of MLG. At The Stratford we do things a little differently, we value authenticity and encourage our people to bring their personality to work.

Teamwork and collaboration are our greatest assets. We work together to create unforgettable experiences for our guests and ourselves. We embrace a growth mindset with no problems, only solutions and learning opportunities.

We work hard and play harder! You will often find our teams out socialising together, whether it's bowling, foraging, in a cocktail master class or in the pub! We truly believe that a friendly workplace is a happier workplace.

The Lounge is a space to unwind by the fireplace, catch up with friends and family or simply to sit and work. Settle into cosy armchairs, sit back, relax, wine and dine inside our airy triple height Lounge with plenty of space.

We are looking for a creative and operational visionary to lead our bars, The Mezzanine and The Lounge. Someone who is not afraid to take a risk and run with an idea. "Normal" and "fine" are two words that are not in our vocabulary. We are looking for a Bar Manager who can share our philosophy.
