Our hotel
Hotel Amigo is set among the cobbled streets of Brussels, just around the corner from the picturesque Grand Place, one of the most beautiful squares in the world. A former prison, it became a hotel in 1957, just in time to host royals, celebrities and VIPs for the Brussels World's Fair. Although much has changed since then, we remain true to our name - our team is friendly, warm and waiting to greet you.
The Sales Manager plays a key role in the development and maintenance of an account base within the assigned market, generating revenue, proactively uncovering new prospects for the Hotel and maximising conversion of business in alignment with the Hotel’s commercial strategy and objectives. The Sales Manager ensures the continued growth and commercial success of the Hotel.
