Job Description

"About us

Gain the Experience! History. Culture. Cuisine. Music.

|

Located in the heart of the French Quarter, Chateau LeMoyne provides a boutique New Orleans experience steeped in history. Just steps from Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, world class dinning and music venues, we offer an ideal location, while providing a quiet respite from all the excitement.

|

At Holiday Inn we want our guests to relax and be themselves which means we need team members to:

|

Be you - by being natural, professional, and personable in the way you are with people

|

Get ready - by taking notice and using your knowledge so that you are prepared for anything

|

Show you care - by being thoughtful in the way you welcome and connect with guests

|

Take action - by showing initiative, taking ownership and going the extra mile

|

At InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, we own, operate and franchise more than 3000 hotels, offering close to half a million guest rooms in nearly 100 countries. By bringing your expertise and passion to any one of our brands, you will help us achieve our vision: to be the most preferred, admired, and successful hotel company the world over.

Your day to day

|

  • Be the warm welcome that kicks off a memorable guest experience|
  • Acknowledge IHG Rewards Club members and returning guests, in person or on the phone|
  • Take and manage guest bookings, up-selling opportunities and telling them about ways to improve their stay|
  • Handle cash and credit transactions|
  • Start every stay right by swiftly checking guests in and out - take IDs, hand out room keys, and control and release safety deposit boxes|
  • Stay one step ahead of guests' needs - record and act on their preferences, and handle their messages, requests, questions and concerns|
  • Be a trusted contact for all guests. Help them with anything from bill issues to local knowledge, and loop in management when necessary|
  • Stay safe all the time. Following our safety procedures, you'll report all incidents and wear any protective gear needed|
  • Take pride in your appearance and place as a brand ambassador|
  • Always know what events and activities are on the day's schedule|
  • Jump into other ad-hoc duties when your colleagues need your help|

What we need from you

|

  • Communication skills - guests will need to come to you with concerns as well as compliments, so you'll be easy to talk to|
  • Your problem-solving skills will turn issues into opportunities so every guest leaves with great memories|
  • Fluency in the local language - extra language skills would be great, but not essential|
  • Literate and tech-savvy - you'll need a good grasp of reading, writing, basic math and computers|
  • Flexibility - night, weekend and holiday shifts are all part of the job|
  • You'll have a high school diploma or qualification. A college or university degree would be a bonus, but not essential|
  • Experience - ideally you'll have spent at least one year in a front desk or guest service position|
  • Strength - sometimes you'll need to lift, push and pull big objects up to 50lbs (23 kg). This can involve bending and kneeling|

What we offer

In return we'll give you a competitive financial and benefits package which may include healthcare support, dental, vision, disability and life insurance support, and a matching 401k plan. Hotel discounts worldwide are available as well as access to a wide variety of discount programs and the chance to work with a great team of people. Most importantly, we'll give you the room to be yourself. So what's your passion? Please get in touch and tell us how you could bring your individual skills to IHG.
