Boutique Travel Cafe jobs

We are Veriu Group (pronounced 'Very You')!

Our brands come from humble beginnings and a passion for connecting travellers to the local authenticity of a location. We aim to bring people together in new ways, to create lifelong travel memories that can’t be found in a guidebook, and to help people discover the true experience of a place.

Through our brands Punthill Apartment Hotels and Veriu Hotels & Suites, we operate 25 hotels across Australia and have over 35 years of brand history. Our ambitious plan to operate 80 hotels becomes closer this year with numerous new hotel openings across the country, and this means we’re well on our way to achieving our mission of becoming the largest Australian-owned apartment hotel operator.

Our people are incredible because they're empowered to be themselves. We're not about hierarchy or rigid structure. Instead, we create an environment where people can make decisions, feel supported and access unlimited opportunities for growth. Our values of Relationship-Focused, Integrity, Personal Growth & Ownership Mindset guide our actions and decisions, and are what our diverse culture is all about.

Now is the perfect time for like-minded people to join our expansion journey. If you’re looking for a meaningful role that can make a serious impact, within a culture that allows you to be truly you – you’ve found us and we can’t wait to hear from you!

Welcome to Veriu Central

Welcome to Veriu Central, where old-world charm meets modern comfort in the heart of Sydney. Housed within the historic Wentworth House, our hotel celebrates its heritage at every turn. From glimpses of the original architecture visible throughout the property to carefully curated design elements inspired by the building’s past, every corner tells a story. Warm wooden interiors, bespoke wooden bedheads, and a palette of colours drawn from the building’s legacy create a unique, inviting atmosphere that blends history with contemporary style.

Perfectly positioned just moments from Sydney Central Station, Capitol Theatre, World Square Shopping Centre, and St Vincent’s Hospital, Veriu Central connects effortlessly to the city. Step outside and wander into Surry Hills, home to some of Sydney’s best cafés, local boutiques, and creative spaces, all just around the corner.
