WHAT YOU WILL ROCK

To thrive here, you bring at least two years of prior service experience, ideally within a four or five star hotel environment, along with the ability to communicate clearly, stay patient under pressure, and approach every situation with tact and professionalism. You’re comfortable reading instructions, performing basic math, and speaking confidently with guests. If you speak additional languages beyond English, even better. You understand the rhythm of lifestyle hotels and premium dining, and you’re ready to work evenings, weekends, and holidays when the property is at its most vibrant. 

This role is active and hands-on. You’ll spend a good portion of your shift walking, carrying, bending, lifting up to 50 pounds, and working in environments that may be warm, cool, loud, or busy. Manual dexterity and strong hand eye coordination will help you manage trays, utensils, and service items with ease. Through all of it, you carry yourself with a professional appearance and a positive attitude, staying mindful of confidentiality and respectful communication at all times. 

Most importantly, you see yourself as part of something bigger: a team committed to exceptional service, ethical operations, sustainability efforts, and a culture that celebrates both individuality and collaboration. You listen, you learn, you grow, and you take initiative to help wherever needed. With each guest you serve and each moment you create, you amplify the spirit of hospitality that defines our property.
