The role
As host, you’re not only welcoming our guests - you’re creating experiences for them. Picture yourself and your colleagues as memory makers, where you won’t hide behind a desk, but you will cover activities between check-in, bar, pantry, restaurant, terrace & meeting rooms. During your shift, you are engaged in:
- Creating an inviting and cozy ambiance that sets the stage for a positive stay from the very first hello.
- Anticipating guest needs and preferences through conversations and thoughtful questioning.
- Spread moments of joy by surprising our guests with unexpected gestures.
- Address guests’ concerns and find swift solutions to secure their happiness.
- Being a real team player. One moment you'll check in our guests, the next you'll be shaking The Usual cocktail for them or helping your team in the pantry.
