About the Company

Hastings Hotels owns and operates six hotels in Northern Ireland, with over 1,000 bedrooms, one stand-alone grill bar/restaurant, and a luxury spa.

From city centre buzz to seaside resort, each outlet has a distinctive personality and market positioning.

Over 50 years, this family-owned business has successfully earned its identity and in a crowded market place because we place quality at the heart of what we do.

Quality in the design of our properties and their upkeep. Quality in the local sourcing of the food and drink we offer our guests. And quality in our people, people with personality, attention to detail, and a desire to develop their careers with us.

Company Culture

Our guests remember small details. The open fires in the front hall. The supremely comfy beds. The fabulous breakfast... and the interactions they had with our staff.

It is more important that you have the correct behaviours and attitude than every last qualification... we can help you attain that.

We place great attention on recruitment, induction, and integrating you into your department, your hotel, and the Group.

We want you to think about how you want to develop your career with us, and we promise to do what we can to help you on that journey.

As a result, we are proud to have some of the best staff retention levels in the hospitality industry.
