Job Description
Company Description
The Hoxton opened its doors in Florence, capital of Italy’s Tuscany region and home to some of the world’s most famous masterpieces of Renaissance art, architecture and monuments. This eye-candy city is packed with culture and is the birthplace of gelato – we did not need any persuading to make it our second home in the country.
The Hoxton in Florence feature 161 beautiful bedrooms of varying sizes, a large ground floor restaurant, bar, lobby, rooftop and courtyard. There is also a basement meeting and events space.
More about us…
The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.
Job Description
What you'll do..
- You make sure our guest experience never flags, even at night! Whatever's needed, you treat our guests as individuals, make them feel welcome and their stay special - the Hox way.
- Deal with the coming and going of guests, making sure all bills are correct and contain no surprises.
- Work with all our teams to make sure we're always busy and help with any overbooking levels.
- Answer phones, sort out requests and anything that might arise, involving the team as needed - you're the one-stop-shop for our guests to turn to.
- Assist the Front Office Manager with daily procedures.
- Always maintain a positive and friendly attitude, even when working to achieve solutions to challenges.
- Ensure the safety of guests overnight whilst they are tucked up asleep.
Qualifications
What we’re looking for…
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 things 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.
It's all about attitude for us, someone who enjoys being helpful to others; that person who makes you feel confident they can answer any question and who you'd want to stop and chat to.
Experience of Micros Fidelio Opera or a similar front desk operating system.
Passion for exceeding guest’s expectations.
Excellent organisational and communication skills.
