Job Description
Be the Warm Welcome – and the Fond Farewell
At Glasgow Marriott Hotel, we believe the best
guest experiences are created by people who genuinely care.
As our Concierge & Guest Experience Host,
you’ll be one of the first friendly faces our guests see and one of the last
they remember. From a warm welcome at arrival to those final “have a safe
journey” moments, you’ll help make every stay feel personal, effortless and
memorable.
You’ll know where to find the best of Glasgow – or be
curious enough to find out. Whether it’s recommending a hidden gem, securing a
last-minute restaurant booking, arranging transport, celebrating a special
occasion or simply knowing the perfect place for a great coffee, you’ll be the
person guests turn to.
This is a role for someone who loves people, thrives on
variety and takes pride in making a difference. It’s about anticipating needs,
creating connections and turning great service into genuine guest experiences.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Create
a warm, confident and genuinely welcoming arrival experience for every
guest. - Be a
knowledgeable and enthusiastic ambassador for Glasgow, sharing
personalised recommendations for restaurants, attractions, events,
shopping, nightlife and local experiences. - Handle
guest requests with energy and initiative – from transport and
reservations to celebrations, experiences and those unexpected last-minute
asks. - Make
every interaction feel personal, professional and effortless, whether
you’re welcoming a returning guest or helping someone discover Glasgow for
the first time. - Keep
the lobby and Concierge area polished, organised and welcoming throughout
the day. - Work
closely with Front Office and wider hotel teams to create a seamless guest
journey from arrival through to departure. - Use
your initiative to resolve challenges quickly and positively, knowing when
to take ownership and when to bring in the right colleague. - Build
strong relationships with guests and colleagues, creating memorable
moments that go beyond expectations. - Share
your knowledge and experience with new team members and contribute to a
positive, inclusive team culture. - Represent
the Glasgow Marriott Hotel with pride, professionalism and genuine
Scottish hospitality.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for personality, curiosity and a genuine
passion for people.
You’ll ideally have:
- Previous
experience in Concierge, Guest Services, Front Office, Reception or
another customer-focused hospitality or tourism role. - A
strong knowledge of Glasgow and its surrounding areas – or the enthusiasm
and curiosity to become a local expert quickly. - A
warm, confident communication style and the ability to connect naturally
with a wide range of guests. - Excellent
organisation skills and the ability to stay calm, focused and positive
when things get busy. - A
proactive approach – you see what needs doing and get on with it. - The
confidence to work independently while being a supportive and
collaborative team player. - A
genuine passion for creating memorable guest experiences. - A
flexible approach to working across a hotel environment, including
weekends and varying shift patterns.
Most importantly, you’ll care about how people feel.
You’ll take pride in the small details, enjoy making someone’s day better and
understand that exceptional hospitality starts with genuine human connection.
What’s In It For You?
We believe taking care of our guests starts with taking care
of our people.
As part of the Glasgow Marriott Hotel team, you’ll have
access to a range of benefits and opportunities, including:
- Marriott
employee hotel rates with discounted stays across 10,000+ Marriott
hotels worldwide. - Friends
& Family rates on hotel stays and dining. - Free
meals while on shift and complimentary staff parking. - Free
use of our onsite Leisure Club, including gym, pool and leisure
facilities. - Access
to wellbeing, wellness and mental health support. - Learning
and development opportunities to help you build your skills and
progress your career with Marriott. - Access
to a range of retail, lifestyle and everyday discounts through
our colleague perks platform. - The
opportunity to work within a global hospitality brand while being part of
a close-knit team here in Glasgow.
