Job description
Property / Office: Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London
Location: London, United Kingdom
Guest Experience Agent
For us, first impressions are everything. We’re looking for a Guest Experience Agent to deliver a seamless guest experience from the second a guest steps through our doors.
Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park is London’s most iconic address. The spirit of the city infuses every floor. The park’s green vastness rolls beyond bedroom windows. Renowned guests frequent the hotels’ bars and restaurants.
It’s another world. A world of oriental luxury and the most attentive service. A world that’s all about our guests.
It’s also a world that’s been reinvented and reimagined to move with the times. With a heart of London’s heritage and an eye to the future, we use our own sense of history to set new standards – through kind, passionate and generous service.
For some hotels, a cheerful smile and polite tone might be enough to be a Guest Experience Agent. For us, being the face of our hotel calls for much more.
First and foremost, being a Guest Experience Agent is about emotional intelligence. We need people who can read our guests in the blink of an eye: are they excited and ready to talk? Or tired from their flight and looking for calm?
Of course, it’s also about how you present yourself. We’re looking for a Guest Experience Agent who can wear our fan pin with pride. And finally, it’s about pulling together, because a great deal of teamwork goes into creating the perfect stay. For example, if a guest mentions an early start, our whole team can come together to make that easier for them – a well-timed wake up call, a luxury car ready and waiting.
It’s a finely tuned orchestra, made up of exceptional soloists.
We offer our colleagues benefits including:
- Complimentary & discounted stays at our beautiful Hotels
- Access to discounts and deals with over 200 popular high street retailers, including discounted gym memberships and travel deals
- Westfield Health cash plan, with children added at no extra cost
