Who We Are

Sitting on a quiet tree-lined street in Soho, twelve floors rise above the neighborhood's storied lofts, boutiques, and galleries. The name derives from the particular manner of hospitality, one that feels more like staying at the home of a dear friend than at a hotel discreet, refined, generous. Our hotel has 90 rooms and suites with four distinct F&B concepts led by an acclaimed chef. The street-side seafood restaurant and second floor cocktail bar will be venues that are open to the public. The Apartment and The Rooftop are spaces reserved exclusively for guests and friends of guests.

Purpose Of The Role

The Events Sales Manager is a dynamic, goal-oriented, personable, and strongly self-motivated individual responsible for managing the outlet's private events, as well as servicing groups and catered functions. This role ensures the private event program is managed efficiently, supports business development, and drives marketing and promotion of the events. The Manager will oversee the initial guest contact, be present during execution, and follow up post-event. A successful candidate will be able to meet or exceed budget revenue goals while ensuring a positive guest experience that fosters repeat business.
