Job Description

We’re People People. Are you?

We’re Sonesta International Hotels—the 8th largest hotel company in the U.S. (and growing fast 🚀).

With a dynamic mix of full-service and focused hotels across major cities, our diverse portfolio of owned, managed, and franchised properties means we’re everywhere our guests need us to be.

But here’s the thing—we’re not just in the business of hotels, we’re in the business of people. We bring service with passion, loyalty with purpose, and create experiences that genuinely connect—delivering quality, value, and memorable stays across 1,000+ properties in eight countries (and counting).

What this role is all about

At Sonesta, our Sales & Marketing teams help bring the brand to life — building relationships, driving revenue, and creating excitement around our hotels, restaurants, meetings, and guest experiences. As the Event Coordinator you’ll support the day-to-day coordination of sales, marketing, events, and commercial activities that help keep the hotel connected, visible, and growing.

A key component of this role is coordinating internal and external events from initial inquiry through execution and follow-up. This includes corporate functions, social events, client appreciation events, networking opportunities, meetings, and special hotel activations, whether or not guestrooms are associated with the event.

This role is perfect for someone who’s organized, creative, detail-oriented, and excited to grow their career in hospitality sales and marketing. You’ll support client communication, marketing initiatives, social content, reporting, events, sales coordination, and administrative operations across the commercial team. If you’re energetic, collaborative, and passionate about hospitality, branding, and relationship-building — we’d love to meet you.
