The Host or Hostess welcomes guests, manages table allocations, handles reservations, escorts guests to their tables, and supports smooth front-of-house service at Shang Palace and Cafe KOOL. Candidates should have previous experience in a hotel, restaurant, or guest-facing hospitality role, excellent communication skills, a polished appearance, and a friendly, service-oriented manner. Fluency in English is generally expected; Cantonese, Mandarin, or other languages are valuable in Hong Kong. The successful candidate should remain calm during busy periods, coordinate effectively with restaurant and kitchen teams, understand guest preferences, and represent Shangri-La's service standards with warmth and professionalism. Flexibility to work shifts, weekends, and public holidays is required.
Shangri-La Group is a luxury hospitality company founded in Hong Kong and known for its hotels, resorts, residences, and related hospitality businesses worldwide. The group operates properties across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other major destinations under the Shangri-La brand and associated brands. Its hotels are recognized for attentive service, elegant surroundings, strong food and beverage operations, and a guest-focused approach often described as Asian hospitality. In Hong Kong, Shangri-La properties serve business travelers, leisure guests, local diners, and international visitors. The company typically offers structured hotel training, opportunities for internal progression, staff benefits, and exposure to multicultural working environments. This role is connected with Shang Palace, a refined Chinese restaurant, and Cafe KOOL, a contemporary all-day dining venue, where employees are expected to provide welcoming, efficient, and personalized guest service.
Hong Kong is a compact international city made up of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories, and surrounding islands. It offers strong opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, retail, finance, technology, and professional services, although competition can be high. The culture blends Cantonese traditions with global influences; respect, punctuality, efficiency, and professional presentation are valued at work. Lifestyle options range from busy shopping districts and excellent dining to hiking, beaches, islands, and a lively arts scene. Public transport is fast and extensive, but housing can be expensive, especially near central areas. Overseas employees normally need an employer-sponsored employment visa under Hong Kong's General Employment Policy, with approval depending on qualifications, experience, salary, and the job offer. Employers may assist with paperwork, but candidates should confirm visa, accommodation, medical, and relocation benefits directly with Shangri-La before accepting an offer.
