Who We Are
Sitting on a quiet tree-lined street in Soho, twelve floors rise above the neighborhood’s storied lofts, boutiques, and galleries. The name derives from the particular manner of hospitality, one that feels more like staying at the home of a dear friend than at a hotel — discreet, refined, generous. Our hotel has 90 rooms and suites with four distinct F&B concepts led by an acclaimed chef. The street-side seafood restaurant and second floor cocktail bar will be venues that are open to the public. The Apartment and The Rooftop are spaces reserved exclusively for guests and friends of guests. While our hotel falls under the Standard International umbrella, it will be positioned as a wholly distinct and separate concept from The Standard with a different market positioning, design aesthetic, and service culture.
Purpose of the Role
Our well-travelled hotel guests come to The Manner expecting a sophisticated environment including privileges to a list of amenities in an inviting atmosphere - making The Manner their house away from home. Our hotel guests will experience thoughtfully crafted and personalized accommodations to not only meet but transcend their expectations. As the Director of Sales you are responsible for the planning, development, execution, and overall management of sales programs consistent with, and supportive of, the overall business objectives of the hotel for both core and outer markets.
