GENERAL MANAGER – LONDONThe General Manager is accountable for the overall commercial, financial, and operational aspects of the Locke Hotel. This role requires a strategic leader with strong revenue management expertise, commercial acumen, and a proven track record in driving financial performance. The GM will work closely with the Revenue, Sales, and Operations teams to maximize profitability, enhance guest experience, and maintain brand standards while ensuring operational efficiencies. THE STAGE IS SETThe stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent. What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere - and we’re now entering a new chapter. As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we’re focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive. Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach. Guests come to rest, work, or escape. Comfort is a given - great beds, hot showers, genuine service. But we aim to create moments that feel memorable and a little unexpected, bringing back the sense of mood hospitality often lost.
