An exciting opportunity for an experienced General Manager to lead the day-to-day operations of one of London's most prestigious events venues.
De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms is a unique, non-residential events venue in the heart of London, between Covent Garden and Holborn. As the only dedicated events venue of its kind within the De Vere collection, it hosts a wide range of conferences, meetings, banquets, awards ceremonies and special events.
