We are looking for you as our Head Chef at The College Hotel, Autoraph Collection by Marriott.

The College Hotel is one of the hotspots in Oud-Zuid. The hotel is housed in a stylish 19th-century building, which opened as a school in 1895. You can spend the night in what used to be the math classroom, the biology classroom or maybe the economics classroom. The hotel is harmonized with “state of the art” design with respect for authenticity. Each room is unique and has its own details from the past. The fantastic location, the iconic boutique hotel The College, makes a night out for dinner extra special. The College Hotel is now a Marriott franchise which has changed its full name to:
The College Hotel, Autograph Collection by Marriott. This brings new challenges. For you as an employee, this provides interesting benefits such as discounts at other Marriott brands and extra training for your personal development and growth!
