Job Description
The July BOAT&CO

All apartments have luxuriously equipped kitchens, living and working areas. The rooms also reflect Amsterdam's Houthaven; some even literally. Like the Family Room with insane views over the IJ River. The rest of our hotel is just as complete. From the atrium to the terrace and from the spa to the restaurant: everywhere The July BOAT&CO combines international design with Amsterdam charm and hospitality. Which we are also proud of: The July BOAT&CO has a first-class sustainability certificate. Nicely in the style of Houthaven, a 100% climate-neutral neighbourhood.
