Junior Sous Chef
Charlotte Street Hotel · London, Fitzrovia
About the hotel
Charlotte Street Hotel is one of eight individually designed Firmdale hotels in central London, set in the heart of Fitzrovia just north of Soho. With 52 individually designed bedrooms and suites, the popular Oscar Bar & Restaurant, a private screening room and refined event spaces, the property has long been a favourite of Bloomsbury's creative descendants — film, fashion and media guests drawn to Kit Kemp's signature design and the hotel's intimate London townhouse feel.
