Head of Sales Welcome to The Usual. We are building a new generation of hotels that combine thoughtful design, meaningful hospitality and responsible business practices. Our hotels are places where guests feel instantly welcome, locals feel at home and teams are empowered to bring their authentic selves to work every day.
