At Leonardo Hotels, our vision is very simple: to be the first choice for everyone who values genuine hospitality.
Built on decades of hotelier know-how, we are part of the Fattal Hotels Group, which operates over 300 hotels across Europe and Israel. We look after over 57 hotels here in the UK & Ireland and have come a long way since we opened our first hotel in Ireland back in 1993! With approximately 5,500 employees and multiple brands, we are a dynamic, innovative and fast-growing company.
As an employer, we put a big emphasis on career development and, as a rule, we recruit our operations team members for personality- it is all about how you interact with others and how you can demonstrate our values:
Consistent, Friendly, Genuine, Positive and Willing
At Leonardo Hotels, each and every team member is individually valued and respected for who you are. All careers within our hotels offer customer interaction, a great deal of variety, and a fun and friendly working environment. We strive to make all of our hotels great places to work, and get our teams involved in activities such as summer barbecues, Christmas parties, Thank You Week and birthday celebrations!
We also offer excellent employee benefits, including huge discounts on overnight stays at our hotels as well as performance-based rewards ranging from vouchers to a well-deserved day off! Check out all of our benefits information here!
Here at Leonardo Hotels we appreciate our teams and all of the hard work they do every day. Throughout the year, we love to show our employees just how much they mean to us by celebrating with our very own Employee Appreciation Week. During Employee Appreciation Week, we treat our teams to sweet treats, personalised thank you cards, themed lunches, spa treatments and much more.
Here are some photos shared during our last Employee Appreciation Week:
Room to Reward is a small charity making a big impact in both the hospitality and voluntary sectors by recognising the inspirational volunteers who generously give their time to help others. We at Leonardo Hotels are very proud partners.
Some of our unsold and therefore unused hotel rooms are donated to Room to Reward to give deserving “Hidden Heroes” a well-earned break. Hidden Heroes are nominated by Room to Reward’s charity partners and can enjoy a stay at a destination of their choice. We have recently welcomed volunteers from the Irish Cancer Society, SIBS and the Rainbow Trust to Leonardo Hotels across the UK & Ireland.
We love giving back and doing our bit for the community. We hold yearly Charity Challenges where each of our hotels and head offices get involved. The Challenges we do change every year – we like to keep things exciting!
The most recent Challenge we held was the Road to the World Cup Challenge in support of our charity partners Mind, SAMH, Inspire and Pieta. Each hotel and head office raised funds and donations through a variety of initiatives, including charity barbecues, raffle boxes, and the sale of pre-loved items and books. We even put our Hotel Managers in the hot seat for Sponge the Manager!
Alongside these group-wide initiatives, we also support our local communities. Our teams regularly donate toys to local children’s hospitals at Christmas and distribute food to local food banks.
At Leonardo Hotels, we are committed to promoting the values of diversity and inclusion across our business. We will continue to role model inclusive behaviours and encourage courageous conversations. We will support colleagues to bring their ‘whole self’ to work by promoting diversity and an inclusive work environment.

Leonardo Hotels is a Disability Confident Employer. Disability Confident is a UK government scheme designed to encourage employers to recruit and retain people living with disabilities and health conditions. All of our hotels in the UK are signed up to Level 2, where we have actively taken steps to create more opportunities for people living with disabilities. We would encourage you to read more about the scheme here:

We work with Jobcentre Plus in the UK and have partnerships with many social enterprises to lead the way in changing attitudes towards disability, and provide opportunities to ensure that people with disabilities and long-term health conditions are able to fulfil their potential at work. In Ireland, our Irish hotels’ work placement initiatives are arranged in partnership with the Irish charity Rehab.
To be recognised as a Disability Confident Employer, we provide inclusive and accessible recruitment, communicate vacancies, offer interviews to people with disabilities, provide reasonable adjustments and support existing employees. We also provide work experience and apprenticeship opportunities.
We regularly review our own people practices and approaches to ensure that our workplace is as open, diverse, accessible and inclusive as possible.
