WHO ARE WE
Generator is on a journey. Appropriate, given that we're a leading global lifestyle accommodation brand. The journey began in London, swung through a heap of European capitals on its way to dominating the world.

Generator burst onto the scene in the Americas with the launch of Generator Miami and Washington DC and most recently took aim at the country's biggest markets (NYC, LA, Miami and Chicago) with the acquisition of Freehand Hotels.

No biggie. Fast Company named us one of the top 50 most innovative global companies. We, of course, agree.

And now this top 50 most innovative global company (did we mention that?) wants a pretty awesome Hotel Manager for Generator Venice.

Our spaces are safe and seriously social, in the proudest part of the beating heart of the cities we love.

Cultural action, creative pulse and an outstanding way to waste some of the finite time the universe has given you - that's what Generator offers.

Holds true for staff and visitors equally, and while chic design is always the backdrop, every Generator in every destination reflects the unique beat of that city's heart.

BEING YOURSELF is the key to bringing the Generator story and brand to life.


ABOUT GENERATOR VENICE

It's not hard to find beauty in a marble city built on a lagoon, but away from the obvious sights and monuments, across bridges, down backstreets and into secret squares, you'll discover the hidden corners where Venetians hang out.

Because if you want to find the real Venice, you have to get lost.

Generator Venice stands on the waterfront of the
island of Giudecca, one short stop on the Vaporetto from Piazza San Marco.

This hostel was originally a warehouse, so the building blends history and character with contemporary design features.

Inside the Generator Venice hostel you'll find luxurious mosaic floors, a glass chandelier and an imposing stone fireplace. Public spaces are subtly split into intimate and open-plan areas - all surrounding the bar and café. Every room has a view of either the gardens, Lido, Grande Canal or the iconic San Marco. Not bad for a hostel, aye?
