General Manager F/M/NB

JO&JOE is a hybrid brand created in 2017 that combines the comfort of a hotel and the conviviality of a youth hostel around a bar and restaurant with a strong identity, an offbeat, surprising, sometimes cheeky tone while remaining inclusive and open to all. We offer a new experience of living together for couples, families, friends on holiday or work colleagues on the move. The JO&JOE concept offers affordable, family-friendly catering and a range of events orchestrated by a passionate, multicultural team. Inspired by a generational philosophy of sharing, spontaneity and enthusiasm for engaging with the world, JO&JOE is open to all and is the meeting point for like-minded travellers and locals. JO&JOE's ambition is to expand across Europe and the world's major gateway cities. Our belief: travel is not about means, but about being open-minded and wanting to meet new people. JO&JOE is part of Ennismore, a creative hotel group rooted in cultures and destinations, with a global portfolio of brands. Ennismore is a joint venture with Accor, founded in 2021. The JO&JOE adventure is just beginning, with more destinations planned for the coming years. Come and join us!
