Hospitality Ambassador

Hospitality Ambassador The Hospitality Ambassador is the personal host of our most valued guests and the caring, compassionate face of both The Grand America and The Little America. Serving as the primary point of contact for VIP guests from pre-arrival through departure, the Ambassador partners closely with the Convention Services, Catering, Sales, Executive, and operational teams to anticipate every need and ensure that each guest is genuinely welcomed, thoughtfully cared for, and made to feel unmistakably special. The role is defined by the little touches that turn a stay into a lasting memory. The Ambassador arranges and oversees the delivery of amenities, welcome gifts, and special requests; plans and personally executes celebrations for birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, and other milestones; and inspects VIP guest rooms and public areas to ensure they are pristine and ready ahead of arrival.
