Absolutely. If you identify with our values and are excited about becoming part of THE FLAG, we look forward to receiving your application.

?
What sets THE FLAG apart from other hotel providers?

Our holistic approach: We are not just hoteliers, but also developers and designers. This means we shape projects from the ground up with responsibility and quality. Our teams work directly with management, not within an anonymous corporate structure.

?
How does THE FLAG support employees in hospitality?

Hospitality is our core business. We offer comprehensive onboarding, regular training, and a team environment that promotes mutual support. Great guest experiences come from satisfied, well-supported employees.

?
What are serviced apartments and how do they differ from hotels?

Serviced apartments are furnished apartments with hotel services. They are aimed at guests who are staying for a longer period and want more privacy and independence. For our teams, this means: longer-term guest relationships, but also specialized requirements in cleaning, technical services, and advisory.
