Job Description

The moment a guest steps into one of our hotels, they walk into a genuinely
memorable experience. As a Front Desk Agent, you’ll not only be the person
they rely on to handle transactions, offer local insights and anticipate every
detail of a friction-free experience. You’ll also create the warm atmosphere
that makes our guests feel at home in any
location. 
 

Key
Accountabilities

  • Be the warm welcome that kicks off
    a memorable guest experience. 
  • Acknowledge IHG Rewards Club members
    and returning guests, in person or on the phone 
  • Take and manage
    guest bookings, up-selling opportunities and telling them about ways to improve
    their stay. 
  • Handle cash and credit
    transactions. 
  • Start every stay right by swiftly checking guests
    in and out - take IDs, hand out room keys, and control and release safety
    deposit boxes. 
  • Stay one step ahead of guests’ needs – record
    and act on their preferences, and handle their messages, requests, questions
    and concerns.
  • Be a trusted contact for all guests. Help them
    with anything from bill issues to local knowledge, and loop in management when
    necessary. 
  • Stay safe all the time. Following our safety
    procedures, you’ll report all incidents and wear any protective gear
    needed. 
  • Take pride in your appearance and place as a brand
    ambassador. 
  • Always know what events and activities are on
    the day’s schedule. 
  • Jump into other ad-hoc duties when your
    colleagues need your help.

 

Key Skills &
Experiences

  • Communication skills - guests will need to come
    to you with concerns as well as compliments, so you’ll be easy to talk
    to. 
  • Your problem-solving skills will turn issues into
    opportunities so every guest leaves with great memories. 
  • Fluency
    in the local language - extra language skills would be great, but
    not essential.

    of reading, writing, basic math and computers
  • Flexibility - night,
    weekend and holiday shifts are all part of the job. 
  • You’ll have
    a high school diploma or qualification.

    A college or university degree would be a bonus, but

    year in a front desk or guest service position. 
  • Strength -
    sometimes you’ll need to lift, push and pull big objects up to 50lbs (23 kg).
