Receptionist

The Zetter Townhouse Marylebone is a 24-bedroom Georgian townhouse and cocktail lounge which enjoys an enviable location on Seymour Street. The Townhouse features a spectacular Rooftop Apartment with a roof terrace and al fresco bath, 21 bedrooms and 3 studio suites. While the Townhouse in Clerkenwell is known as the home of Zetter's Great Aunt Wilhelmina, the Marylebone property is that of our Wicked Uncle Seymour.

The Cocktail Lounge is a collaboration between The Zetter Group, Tony Conigliaro (Drinks Factory and 69 Colebrooke Row) and chef Bruno Loubet. Stuffed full of oddities and curios, with an open fire crackling in the grate, the relaxed, informal sitting room is equally suited to a lazy afternoon as it is a night of uproarious revelry.

For all of us at The Zetter Group, the guests' experience is paramount, and while it may be the award winning interior design or the buzzy atmosphere that the guests first notice on arrival, it is the helpful, charming, smiling and knowledgeable team that they remember long after they leave. Our people are our secret weapon! And this is your chance to become part of our expanding family.
