St Martins Lane Hotel
Be The Welcome. Create The Experience.
Every memorable dining experience starts with a feeling — feeling welcomed, valued, and genuinely cared for. As a Food & Beverage Host, you'll be the person who creates that feeling from the moment a guest arrives.
At our luxury lifestyle hotel, we're looking for someone who naturally connects with people, enjoys creating exceptional first impressions, and takes pride in making every guest feel they belong. More than managing reservations and seating plans, you'll help create an atmosphere where guests can relax, connect, celebrate, and enjoy unforgettable moments.
This is a role for someone who understands that hospitality is about people. You'll be the warm smile at the door, the reassuring presence during busy periods, and the person who turns a simple welcome into the start of an extraordinary guest experience.
Working closely with our restaurant, bar, and kitchen teams, you'll help ensure every service flows seamlessly while making guests feel recognised, valued, and cared for.
What You'll Be Doing
- Creating outstanding first and last impressions through warm, genuine welcomes and farewells.
- Greeting and seating guests with confidence, professionalism, and personality.
- Managing reservations, walk-ins, and table allocations to ensure a smooth guest journey.
- Building positive relationships with guests and anticipating their needs before they ask.
- Handling enquiries and special requests with care, empathy, and attention to detail.
- Working closely with restaurant, bar, and kitchen teams to create seamless service experiences.
- Maintaining a welcoming, elegant, and inviting atmosphere throughout the reception and dining areas.
- Helping guests celebrate special moments and creating experiences they want to return for.
