Discover Hand Picked Hotels – Where Heritage Meets Hospitality
Hand Picked Hotels is a unique collection of 21 family-owned luxury country house hotels and coastal retreats spread across the UK and Channel Islands. Architecturally stunning and rich in British heritage, each hotel is more than just a place to stay—it’s a destination full of character, history and exceptional service.
Whether it’s the dramatic coastal views of the Channel Islands, the rolling countryside of England, or the enchanting landscapes of Scotland, every location offers guests an inviting atmosphere of relaxed luxury. Guests come for indulgent spa days, elegant afternoon teas, memorable family celebrations, or professional events—always welcomed with genuine warmth and first-class hospitality.
What truly sets Hand Picked Hotels apart is their commitment to local communities and authentic dining experiences. Talented chefs create seasonal menus celebrating the best locally sourced produce, complemented by the exclusive Villa Saletta wines from the brand’s own boutique Tuscan vineyard.
For those seeking seasonal or working holiday opportunities, Hand Picked Hotels offers something special: the chance to live and work in some of the UK’s most picturesque locations, all while being part of a team dedicated to creating unforgettable moments for every guest. Whether your passion lies in front-of-house service, housekeeping, food and beverage, spa therapy, or events, there’s a role where you can develop skills, meet new people, and build memories that last a lifetime.
Team members enjoy supportive leadership, practical training, and a friendly working culture where individuality is valued as much as excellence. It’s not just about delivering luxury—it’s about sharing genuine warmth, creativity, and care, every single day.
