F&B Operations Trainee

Opened in May 2025, The Standard, Brussels brings 180 rooms, a rooftop garden, and a greenhouseu2011style lobby to the city’s Northern Quarter. Designed as a hub for culture and connection, the hotel blends contemporary hospitality with the brand’s signature edge. Throughout the building, a collection of public and private event spaces hosts a steady rhythm of gatherings, collaborations, and cultural moments. Since 1999, The Standard has focused on thoughtful design, community, and experiences that feel anything but standard.

If you’re ready to learn, contribute, and be part of a team shaping a new chapter for The Standard in Brussels, we’d love to meet you. Bring your perspective, your energy, and your ambition — the rest; we’ll build together.
