It taps into the eclectic weirdness of the era - the richest wallpaper imaginable, with ravishing handsome tones of ivy and bronze and botanical graphics; gold stars, grandfather clocks, touches of the macabre, astrology and magic" The Times, 2018 We are recruiting for an experienced Hotel Manager to join our team.
