WHO ARE WE
Generator is on a journey. Appropriate, given that we're a shared
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. Created for a new generation
of urban travelers, Freehand combines the social culture of a hostel with
innovative design by Roman and Williams, comfort and quality food and beverage
at an affordable price.
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 Director of
Housekeeping for our Freehand Hotel in New York.
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.
ABOUT FREEHAND NEW YORK
Located in Manhattan’s Flatiron District, Freehand New York is
housed in the former George Washington Hotel once home to many storied writers,
musicians and creatives. Designed by Roman and Williams and featuring
custom-commissioned artwork by Bard College students and alumni throughout,
we’re revitalizing the artistic community in a historic NY neighborhood.
Conveniently situated in the Flatiron District, Freehand New York has a
vibrancy that starts with the guests in the rooms and public spaces and is
complemented by the locals frequenting the George Washington Bar and Broken
Shaker rooftop Bar, enjoying the regular events and activations. It’s this
energy that sets Freehand apart in the city, and it empowers the team working at
the property just as much as it does the guests passing through.
