The Hoxton take on Europe! We’re popping up in some of our favorite cities and we’ve opened our first hotel in Germany in the city of culture and creativity, Berlin. We are now looking for an experienced Receptionist to join our team.
Our first Hoxton in Germany is home to 234 bedrooms of varying sizes, a ground floor restaurant, coffee bar and streetside terrace and The Apartment – our unique meetings and events concept.

MORE ABOUT US…

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.
Job Description

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR…

• It’s all about attitude for us, someone who enjoys being helpful to others; that person who makes you feel confident they can answer any question and who you’d want to stop and chat to.
• Previous hotel (or similar) experience is great, but it’s not a must-have for us - if you’re eager to learn we can teach you what you need to know.
• Must be fluent in German and English, additional languages will be highly valuable.
• You’re looking for a place where you can be you, no clones in suits here.
• Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way.
  Additional Information

• You’re the first face our guests see, and you have your own way of treating them as individuals, making them feel welcome and their stay special - the Hox way.
• Deal with the coming and going of guests, making sure all bills are correct and contain no surprises.
• Maintain great relationships throughout the whole hotel, to ensure all interdepartmental tasks are dealt with in the positive Hox way, that we’re very proud of.
• You’re where it’s at – take phone calls, reply to incoming emails and be on top of other digital communication channels and handle inquiries and guest requests accordingly.
• Be the person you’d like to meet when travelling - give recommendations for the best show to see and the latest pop-up restaurant to try in the area - you’re the one-stop-shop for our guests to turn to.
• Make sure our Front Desk is always tidy, stocked and ready to delight the next guest.
• You’ll be assigned and involved with personal projects – based on your strengths and interests – to help develop and improve our departments and hotels overall performance.
