Role summary

Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.

The Receptionist will welcome guests, manage arrivals and departures, process reservations and payments, answer enquiries, and provide polished, personalised service in line with St. Regis standards. The role is part of the pre-opening team, so candidates should be organised, adaptable and comfortable helping establish new procedures. Previous hotel or luxury customer-service experience is desirable, along with confident communication, professional presentation and strong attention to detail. The ability to remain calm during busy periods, use hotel systems and work flexible shifts—including evenings, weekends and holidays—is expected. Fluency in English and the legal right to work in the United Kingdom are normally required.
