Procurement Manager (Saudi only) at Crowne Plaza Madinah

Dare
to Connect is how we describe the Service Style at Crowne Plaza hotels.
It shows we’re thinking and acting differently.

We’re connecting with guests – and each other – in a more personal way. We’re
showing our personalities (and sharing a little of ourselves) and learning more
about the other person… as a person, not as a room number or a co-worker. When
we Dare to Connect, it means we: 

Dare to Make the First Move… we are proactive
and positive… we are the first to greet and say hello, and the first to take
action and help our guests. 

Adapt to
the Moment… we might not be mind readers, but we can read our guest’s
moods and needs and then change our pace, tone and take action so we can help
a guest when they need it. 

Relate to Business
Needs… we know that Modern Business Travelers need to be productive, so
we make sure we prioritize the right things that help our guests do what’s
important. 

Enable Quality Downtime…
we know our guests want more from their trip than just business, so we make
an effort to get to know them and give them recommendations that help them make
the most out of their free time.
