Job Description

About Montcalm Collection

United by timeless style and peerless service, Montcalm Collection is London's compendium of luxury hotels. Housed in elegant Georgian townhouses, an 18th-century brewery, heritage headquarters and a diamond-shaped skyscraper, each hotel reveals a different chapter in the city's story.


The hotels in the collection include a historic brewery, reimagined as a vibrant modern hotel: Montcalm Brewery. A storied city-slicker, housed in the former headquarters of the Royal Mail: Montcalm Royal London House. A property with a bold new perspective at Montcalm East, part of Marriott's Autograph Collection. And a duo of mindful hotels which set a slower pace: Inhabit, Southwick Street and Inhabit, Queen's Gardens, both part of Design Hotels.


Our flagship hotel is on the brink of a bold new era. Its Grade II-listed building on the cusp of Park Lane has been sensitively refreshed by architects Holland Harvey. Interiors are being rejuvenated by Studio Mica and Studio Est. We have added a new signature restaurant helmed by a world-famous chef, alongside a dapper lounge and bar. Communal areas, bedrooms and suites have all been artfully redesigned; our spa and Grand Ballroom will re-emerge as modern icons.


Conscious, cultured, characterful, and considerate, Montcalm Mayfair is a five-star hotel set on a historic crescent that sits proudly at the top of Park Lane, steps from Hyde Park and the West End, with a toe in Marylebone, bringing a fresh, holistic hospitality approach to London luxury. The respectful, sensitive full restoration includes a wellness space, community-welcoming public spaces and a restaurant helmed by an internationally acclaimed chef.
