There’s nothing complicated about dealing with business people.

They’re just people. Doing business.

By day: international marketing superhero. By night: fluffy bath robe and a box set.

Like Liz, who’s left her laptop cable in the cab. Or Mario, who’s secretly missing his cats. The early riser, who’s first in the gym. The sales team preparing for the ‘big pitch’ over a freshly prepared lunch. At Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts, we embrace the new world of business and understand that Modern business travelers want a hotel (and a hotel team) that understands and supports them, helping at every turn.

What we offer

We’ll reward all your hard work with a great salary and benefits.

Join us and you’ll become part of the family – and like all families, all our individual team members share some winning characteristics.

You need to show us you care: that you notice the little things that make a difference to guests as well as always looking for ways to improve.

So go on - show us how your passion and personality are the perfect fit to deliver memorable experiences to our guests.
