Joining the IHG portfolio in Summer 2026 as Canary Riverside Plaza London, Vignette Collection - this exciting new chapter marks the brand’s first property in London. Set in the heart of Canary Wharf with stunning views across the River Thames and London skyline, the hotel features 142 luxurious guestrooms and suites, stylish dining spaces, meeting and events facilities and access to a luxury health club, spa and pool.

As an Executive Housekeeper, your day-to-day will be driven by our Guests needs, however you can expect to cover the following duties and responsibilities (not all encompassing) …
- Leading the Housekeeping department through an important period of change as the hotel transitions into the Vignette Collection brand, setting clear standards and bringing structure, pace and consistency to the operation.
- Taking ownership of guestrooms, public areas and back-of-house spaces to ensure they reflect luxury brand expectations, with a strong focus on presentation, cleanliness, safety and attention to detail.
- Building, developing and motivating a high-performing housekeeping team through recruitment, training, coaching and clear day-to-day leadership.
- Working closely with the Rooms Division Manager and wider leadership team to embed new ways of working, improve standards and support a seamless guest experience.
- Managing departmental budgets, labour costs, inventory and supplier relationships while balancing operational demands with the needs of a hotel in transition.
- Using guest feedback, cleanliness scores and quality audits to identify priorities, drive improvements and maintain momentum against brand expectations.
