Group Housing and Events Coordinator

LINE LA•Los Angeles, CA

About The Position

More than a group of hotels, the LINE is a creative community built around a sense of discovery — an exploration of a building, a neighborhood, and a culture. From Koreatown in LA to Adams Morgan in DC to downtown Austin, each property is architecturally interesting and chosen for its location in emerging neighborhoods in compelling cities. The LINE hotels are both reflective and responsive— shaped by the communities they are part of while also contributing something new to those places. The LINE properties are a collaboration of the best local and out-of-town talent in design, food and beverage, arts and culture. In the heart of New York City, The Ned NoMad embodies timeless elegance and modern luxury within the historical Johnston building at the bustling intersection of 28th and Broadway. Expect experiences that transcend accommodation, becoming journeys through time and style. The building also houses Ned's Club NoMad New York, a private membership club with a global community of like-minded professionals seeking connection and inspiration in exclusive spaces. Coming soon is Ned's Club Washington DC, offering even more opportunities for meaningful connections and enriching experiences. That colorful hotel in the desert, The Saguaro is a good time. It’s not that complicated. There’s plenty of sunshine, a buzzing pool scene and lots of local flavor. We are seeking a dynamic Group Housing and Events Coordinator to join our team. A successful candidate will have a genuine passion for the hospitality industry and an entrepreneurial spirit.
