The Hostess welcomes guests, manages reservations and seating, coordinates table availability, and helps create a smooth dining experience.

Knowledge of reservation systems and additional languages is an advantage. The role requires confidence, organisation, patience, and the ability to remain calm during busy service periods. The successful candidate is expected to work flexible shifts, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, while maintaining St. Regis standards and building positive relationships with guests and colleagues.

The United Arab Emirates is a strong destination for hospitality careers, particularly in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where hotels, restaurants, resorts, airlines, and event companies regularly recruit international staff. Although the UAE is not an island, Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah offers a distinctive waterfront lifestyle with beaches, dining, shopping, and entertainment. The culture blends Emirati traditions with a large expatriate community; respectful dress and behaviour are important, especially during Ramadan. Daily life is modern and convenient, though accommodation and transport costs can be high. Most overseas employees require employer-sponsored residence and work visas, and reputable employers usually arrange medical checks, Emirates ID processing, and relocation support. Confirm whether accommodation, meals, transport, insurance, flights, and service charges are included before accepting an offer. English is widely used in hotels, while Arabic and other languages are valuable.
