Dakota is a growing UK-based lifestyle brand with five locations, soon growing to seven. We are known for our stylish hotels, bustling brasserie Grills, upscale wine & cocktail Bars, and above all, our team.
Dakota’s story started with two boutique hotels on the outskirts of Edinburgh, in South Queensferry, and Glasgow, in Eurocentral. We have now expanded into prime city centre locations in Glasgow, Leeds, and Manchester, soon opening in Newcastle city centre (and more in the pipeline!).
Dakota is synonymous for delivering attentive and genuine guest service. We attract hard-working individuals who are passionate about working to the highest standards with colleagues who are, quite simply, great to work alongside! Our team members are not just recruited due to their skills and experience, but also due to their individualities and flair. We believe that recruiting team members who’s personalities embody our culture and have an enthusiastic attitude is the key to creating a great place to be, for both our team and our guests.
Our brand has been voted within the top 15 hospitality employers of the year for the past three years, and our HR Team won ’People Team of the Year’ 2022, so we must be doing something right!
