Purchasing Intern

We're looking for a Purchasing Intern to join our team at The Hoxton, Poblenou!

The Hoxton Poblenou in the city of Barcelona is our 11th Hoxton. The hotel boasts 240 bedrooms of different sizes, a large restaurant Four Corners with The Slice shop and La Bodega, a rooftop pool and our taqueria Tope, a bright and airy lobby, a multi-functional basement events space and The Apartment (our unique meetings & events concept).

More about us....

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we've never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn't need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

Reporting to our Back House Manager, you will be responsible to support the management of our day to day housekeeping, maintenance and front office operations for 5-6 months from November 2026.

What's in it for you...

• Become part of a team that's very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences.
• Internship allowance of 500€ gross per month.
• Food on us during your shift.
• Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us.
