Pack your culinary bags because you are going on a trip! Your destination? A place where early mornings, tasty buffets, and delicious plates are music to your ears as the new breakfast chef of voco® The Hague! Oh, before you leave - don't forget to bring your passion for hospitality, hunger to learn, and your taste buds to cook some mouth-watering dishes.
Destination: Botanica - a culinary garden inside voco® The Hague
Come on in to an iconic former bank building where offices and ATMs have made way for a brand-new hotel in the city centre of The Hague. First impression? 204 elegantly furnished rooms, 7 floors and a warm welcome from your future team. At voco™, we give people a different choice. Hotels to count on but different enough to be fun. Unstuffy hotels, where people feel comfortable to relax, and just get on with relaxing. Finding the perfect mix of reliability and new experiences. Because we believe that when you respect individuality life gets interesting.
You will be staying at Botanica together with the kitchen crew. The restaurant is a destination in itself, serving standout dishes that include grilled vegetables and proteins cooked in a Josper charcoal oven. With a focus on local ingredients, you can expect honey from the bee hotel, fresh coffee roast delivered by bike, or eggs from the best hen farm in The Hague. Our vegetable-inspired menu considers seasonality and emphasizes a sustainable supply chain from product to plate. Botanica is where you will be the breakfast chef that runs the show by helping guests and inventing dishes that fit the multi-cultural appetite of our guests.
