London, United Kingdom Montcalm Collection Full time

Head of Technical Services



Montcalm Collection – Precis Properties



United by timeless style and peerless service,
Montcalm Collection is London’s compendium of luxury hotels. Housed in elegant
Georgian townhouses, an 18th-century brewery, heritage headquarters and a
diamond-shaped skyscraper, each hotel reveals a different chapter in the city’s
story. The hotels in the collection include a storied city-slicker, housed in
the former headquarters of the Royal Mail: Montcalm Royal London House. A property
with a bold new perspective at Montcalm East, part of Marriott’s Autograph
Collection. And a duo of mindful hotels which set a slower pace: Inhabit,
Southwick Street and Inhabit, Queen’s Gardens, both part of Design Hotels.

operations of our group of hotels in London. This leadership position is
