Company Description

We are looking for an Executive Housekeeper to join our team at The Hoxton, Downtown LA. The role is based within the property and reports directly to the General Manager and works closely with the Director of Rooms.

The Hoxton, Downtown LA is nestled in LA's Downtown on buzzing Broadway. Once the LA Railway Authority, then a candy shop, this property has an LA history that'll charm your socks off.

More about us….

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighborhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night.
