With 37 inspiring lifestyle hotels across the UK, Malmaison & Hotel du Vin offer unparalleled sophistication, tailored service, and authentic experiences. Each of our properties tells a unique story, combining timeless elegance with modern luxury.

We have an exciting newly created opportunity for a Graphic Designer to join us and hold the keys to the visual identities of two of the UK’s most distinctive boutique hospitality brands: the bold, edgy, and chic Malmaison, and the classic, refined, and wine-centric Hotel du Vin.

Managing a portfolio of 37 luxury boutique properties, you will serve as the sole in-house creative force and the ultimate brand gatekeeper. You will be responsible for translating high-level brand strategies into stunning, highly cohesive visual experiences across both digital and physical touchpoints - from tactile, high-end menus and seasonal wine lists to dynamic social media motion graphics and spatial signage.

While you will have access to external agency support for large-scale campaigns, you will be the driving force setting the creative direction, managing agency outputs, and empowering 37 hotel teams with the self-serve templates and assets they need to deliver flawless local marketing.

What you'll be doing as a Graphic Designer:

Maintain, evolve, and protect the unique visual identities and distinct brand guidelines for both Malmaison and Hotel du Vin.
Lead the creative ideation and development of seasonal campaigns, F&B launches, and promotions to establish "hero" visual assets.
Curate and organise a robust digital asset management system to guarantee flawless file organization and version control.
Design and oversee the production of high-quality, tactile print assets including menus, wine lists, signage, and guest-facing collateral.
Produce engaging digital graphics, email layouts, website banners, and high-performing social media content for Instagram and TikTok.
Develop intuitive templates and training resources to empower local hotel teams while protecting core brand integrity.
Act as the primary creative lead and contact for external agencies, briefing and refining assets to ensure they meet brand standards.
Partner with corporate marketing and hotel teams across 37 properties to interpret design briefs, manage timelines, and set expectations.
Coordinate directly with premium print vendors to select finishes, paper stocks, and sign off on printer proofs for flawless physical output.
Analyse digital asset performance alongside marketing teams to optimize designs for UX/UI, email campaigns, and online advertising.

What we're looking for:

Proven experience as a Senior, Lead, or high-performing Mid-Weight Graphic Designer.
Demonstrable experience as a graphic designer within hotels or hospitality is required.
A strong portfolio showing a versatile range of styles, specifically demonstrating the ability to design for both a modern aesthetic (Malmaison style) and a classic aesthetic (Hotel du Vin style).
Extensive experience delivering flawless mechanical artwork for complex physical print (spot varnish, foil stamps, bespoke die-cuts) alongside pixel-perfect assets for digital, web, and social platforms.
Expert-level proficiency in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
Strong working knowledge of Premiere Pro, After Effects, or other animation tools to create engaging social video content.
Experience setting up user-friendly templates on platforms like Canva, Figma, or centralised DAM systems for non-designer team use.
Meticulous approach to document setup, grid layouts, typographic hierarchy, colour profiling (CMYK vs. RGB), and print-ready exporting.
A self-motivated starter who is comfortable working as the sole in-house designer, with the maturity to structure their own schedule, drive projects forward, and make key creative decisions.
Ability to present design concepts confidently to executive leadership and negotiate respectfully but firmly with 37 distinct property teams to prevent project bottlenecks.
Understanding of how design drives business results, whether that is elevating food and beverage revenues through beautiful menu design or driving direct hotel bookings via high-impact digital ads.
Excellent project-management skills; capable of keeping multiple plates spinning without dropping the details or sacrificing quality.
