Barista

Description

Are you driven by a passion for hospitality and eager to join a premier team at one of Minneapolis’ top-ranked hotels? The Lofton Hotel—the first Tapestry Collection property in Minnesota—offers an exciting and fulfilling career alongside dedicated professionals who take pride in delivering unforgettable guest experiences. Every day, we strive to create lasting memories for both our guests and team members and now, we’re seeking a Barista to help lead that mission at Mezzo Mezzo, a new, all-day restaurant built by a collaborative, hospitality-driven team. Inspired by its Italian namesake meaning “half and half,” Mezzo Mezzo transitions from a morning coffee shop serving locally roasted coffee, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches to an evening pizzeria with a full-service bar. We proudly serve Spyhouse Coffee, known for its high-quality sourcing and craft roasting. This role is perfect for someone who values hospitality, consistency and great coffee.

Nestled in the heart of downtown Minneapolis' vibrant entertainment district, The Lofton Hotel offers an upscale escape where modern luxury meets Midwestern charm. Steps away from premier shopping, dining, and nightlife, our hotel is seamlessly connected via the Minneapolis Skyway, placing you moments from Target Center, Target Field, and U.S. Bank Stadium. Designed to reflect the city's rich musical and sporting culture, our stylish 251-room property features contemporary accommodations adorned with artwork inspired by Minnesota’s landscapes. Experience the energy of Minneapolis with warm hospitality and play a vital part in our mission to redefine hospitality excellence. “
