Living Hotels is offering apprenticeships to NUST students with a hospitality & tourism, and culinary arts degree. Join us and create unforgettable experiences - your Living Moments.

Living Hotels is a family-run hotel chain from Munich and part of the Derag Group. With 18 hotels, we create individual spaces to work, live and stay in the best residential areas of many major German cities as well as in Vienna and Cape Town.

Living Moments

What is a Living Moment? What you can't buy with money. The smile at the door, the greeting with your name in the hallway, the reading of wishes from your eyes. That's what our Living Moments are all about: we celebrate hospitality. We go the extra mile. We are there when something is needed. And we make our guests' daily lives our own.
