You are a perfectionist by nature and know that anything worth doing is worth doing well. You are someone who doesn’t settle for ordinary, and have an aversion to blasé service, knowing that effort and spontaneity are the alchemy for the extraordinary. You are genuine, yet polished, and aren’t afraid to venture outside of the norm and do things differently. You obsess over the details (the Science) and presentation (the Art), striving to create an experience that surprises and inspires. You relish the opportunity to be part of the distinctive soul of a unique hotel, where your creativity and passion are appreciated, supported, and expected.

This integral role assists in leading the Guest Services department, by example, ensuring that no need goes unmet and no opportunity to make a guest’s visit special is missed. Your day is spent where you are at your best: in the lobby with your team, delivering innovative guest experiences. You are an exquisite host who is just as comfortable arranging the details of a surprise proposal as they are giving a hotel tour to a curious neighbor or maneuvering a bell cart. The Supervisor knows the ins and outs of both the hotel and the surrounding community, and their gracious demeanor and warm presence makes any guest entering the lobby feel at ease, knowing that they have selected the right place.

They assist in leading the Guest Services Team to deliver remarkable guest and associate experiences. It is critical the person in this position possesses a diverse knowledge of Rooms Division operations and is willing to dive into the day-to-day operation, while balancing and directing the long-term goals of the hotel. You lead the team through your collaborative approach—you understand that the ability to act as a soldier is as critical as being a general.
