• A LITTLE ABOUT US
• VINTRY & MERCER (EST. 2019)

Vintry & Mercer is set in London’s Vintry Ward, among the livery halls, guilds and narrow streets that line the banks of the Thames.

This is where past and present intersects, where the long traditions of the trade and commerce come to life in the contemporary style of the hotel’s 92 bespoke rooms and suites.

The dynamism between old and new plays out again and again – in the hotel’s two restaurants, or the barrel-aged cocktails from the speakeasy bar, in the old traveller maps decorating walls, or the modern chandelier by Moooi.

It’s a hotel in the heart of the City, alive with the bustle of commerce and conversation that reflect its first‑class location at the centre of the turning world.

If you feel you have what it takes to be a part of our unique team, have a passion for going that extra mile and have exceptional experience, then we would love to hear from you!
