1 Hotel Copenhagen is centrally located at the intersection of the city’s vibrant Latin Quarter and its historic heart; it will feature 282 rooms including 30 suites.  With a Green-Michelin-starred Chef at the helm, the property will also feature locally sourced, seasonal cuisine as eclectic as the city itself at the signature restaurant and bar. Guests and locals alike can find tranquillity in the nature-inspired Bamford Wellness Spa, connect with the natural world in the property’s urban garden complete an on-site bee hotel, or embark on an adventure, exploring Copenhagen's rich tapestry of parks and museums on bike.

Life is precious including the experiences we have with food and the people we share those experiences with. The Food & Beverage teams at SH Hotels & Resorts understand (and value) that thoughtful ingredients and extraordinary people are both required to execute an exquisite experience for our guests. 

We’re currently in search of a Director of Food and Beverage for 1 Hotel Copenhagen. If you strive to be a leader second-to-none, know how to motivate a team, elevate standards, and cultivate an environment for learning as we all continue to grow. We’re looking for a people magnet, a genius at anticipating obstacles and finding quick solutions. Most important, someone who’s not afraid to get in the trenches with their team to achieve the ultimate outcome. Sound like you? We’d love to connect.
