Lore Group is hiring a mid-weight interior designer to join its team in London.

Lore Group is an international hospitality company that designs, transforms, manages and operates hotel and food and drink concepts in notable cities across Europe and the United States. We deliver approachable and inspired spaces to our guests from around the world – thoughtful design and interesting use of space is at the core of everything we do.

Our diverse portfolio of award-winning properties includes Riggs and Lyle in Washington DC, the Pulitzer and Kimpton de Witt in Amsterdam, Sea Containers London and One Hundred Shoreditch in London. Our culture is entrepreneurial, team-oriented and creative, and unparalleled hospitality underpins all that we do. We believe passion, a clear vision and the best talent leads to extraordinary results. With additional properties being added to our portfolio in the near future, this is a fantastic time to join Lore Group.

Our in-house design team, led by creative director Jacu Strauss, are inspired by our buildings, their history and the neighbourhoods in which they are located. There is nothing standard about what we do. Our hotels are as different as the cities and neighbourhoods in which they are located and their designs are inspired by their unique sense of place.

We think about every detail. For us, good design is not about stamping our own ‘look’ on every project, instead it’s about breathing new life into a building and creating spaces that work.
