Front Office Receptionist at Kimpton Fitzroy London
At Kimpton Fitzroy London we are looking for a Front Office Receptionist to join our team in Central London
A “London Hotel Like No Other,” Kimpton Fitzroy London is an iconic 19th-century building which meets the London of today: From the outside, this landmark building, which occupies the eastern side of Bloomsbury’s Russell Square, looks every bit the part of grande dame. Inside, though, contemporary interiors beckon the discerning traveller to settle in and stay a while. Want to be part of this Lifestyle Luxury property?
Our Front Office Receptionists support the Front Office Manager to ensure a guest is met with a genuine welcome and that their needs are attended to throughout their stay. We believe that a stay at Kimpton Fitzroy London is a laid-back and original luxury experience that offers guests the finer things without the fuss. No detail is too small, and no request is too large.
As a Front Office Receptionist, you’ll be 100% you, bringing your authentic personality to everything you do; be the ultimate host, confidently leading yourself and making creative decisions that elevate every interaction; and spark joy, using every tool available to craft meaningful and memorable experiences.
Key Responsibilities:
- Greet guests, handle check-ins/check-outs, and assist with inquiries.
- Provide accurate information and resolve issues promptly.
- Promote IHG One Rewards and upsell rooms and F&B outlets.
- Maintain a clean, organized front desk and ensure smooth communication between shifts.
- Monitor security and adhere to hotel protocols.
- Handle guest requests, queries, and concerns, and escalate when necessary.
