shops, Charlotte Street Hotel is an intimate hotel with real character and

colour, rich pattern and exceptional craft, all woven together as a heartfelt homage
to the Bloomsbury Group, the celebrated circle of artists and writers who
gathered just a few streets away.
With Soho a minute's
walk away and some of the city's most exciting theatres, bars and restaurants
right on the doorstep, this is a hotel that inspires everyone who works within
it. We look for people who bring curiosity and warmth, and who take genuine
pride in creating something special for every guest.
