The Host or Hostess welcomes guests, manages reservations and seating, answers dining enquiries, coordinates table flow, and helps create a smooth experience at Shang Palace and Cafe KOOL. Candidates should have hospitality or restaurant experience, strong communication and interpersonal skills, a polished and friendly manner, and good spoken English. Cantonese and other languages are advantageous in Hong Kong. The role requires teamwork, attention to detail, confidence handling busy service periods, and flexibility to work shifts, weekends and public holidays. Candidates are expected to maintain Shangri-La service standards, represent the restaurants professionally, and respond courteously to guest requests or concerns.

Shangri-La offers career opportunities across food and beverage, rooms, culinary operations, finance, engineering and corporate functions.

The company places emphasis on warm Asian hospitality, professionalism, teamwork and delivering personalized experiences to guests.
Hong Kong offers extensive opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, retail, finance, technology and international business. Its culture blends Chinese traditions with global influences, and Cantonese is widely spoken alongside English and Mandarin. Life is energetic and convenient, with excellent public transport, diverse food, shopping, nightlife and access to hiking trails and beaches. Housing can be expensive, especially on Hong Kong Island and in central districts, so many workers live in Kowloon or the New Territories. Foreign employees generally need an employer-sponsored work visa, commonly through the General Employment Policy, and must meet qualification and salary requirements. Employers often assist with visa paperwork, but applicants should confirm sponsorship, accommodation, insurance and relocation support before accepting an offer. Hong Kong is a city rather than a conventional resort island, though Hong Kong Island is one of its main urban areas.
