Night Manager
The Hoxton, Shoreditch | 81 Great Eastern St, London EC2A 3HU, UK
Company Description
The Hoxton, Shoreditch – our first hotel – found its home in a former car park, and just like the neighbourhood, has evolved over the years into a fixture of the East London scene. Shoreditch has become one of the most happening areas of London, and we’re bang in the middle of it, with 210 bedrooms, the Apartment, and two in-house restaurants – Hoxton Grill and Llama Inn.
Job Description
What you’ll do…
- We’ve got a popular bar and restaurant, so the role is very varied but here’s an overview of what we see you doing in this role…
- Take care of our guests, which may include check in/check out, handling billing, making sure guest accounts and data are correct, and dealing with any requests and enquiries
- Working with our Front Office Manager and the rest of the Hoxton team in setting selling strategies and ensuring maximum occupancy
- Proactively keep an eye on all our public areas, working with our restaurant and security teams to make sure everything is running without a hitch, and handling any issues as and when they arise
- Lead your night team by example, keeping them involved and motivated; help them feel empowered and supported, confident in providing top experiences for our guests and comfortable turning to you with questions
Qualifications
What we’re looking for…
- Most important is that you know how to provide a great and memorable guest experience – whether it’s for someone staying with us or just stepping in for a drink or a bite to eat
- Previous experience in hospitality is an advantage but not a must
- People who know you would likely describe you as ‘unflappable’; you’ve got plenty of experience dealing with different types of requests successfully
- Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here
- Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night
- You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience
- You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get stuff done
- You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once
- If we got stuck in a lift together we’d have a good time and share a few laughs
- You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way
