The role

We're looking for a Receptionist to join our team at The Hoxton, Poblenou!

The Hoxton Poblenou in the city of Barcelona is our 11th Hoxton. The hotel boasts 240 bedrooms of different sizes, a large restaurant Four Corners with The Slice shop and La Bodega, a rooftop pool and our taqueria Tope, a bright and airy lobby, a multi-functional basement events space and The Apartment (our unique meetings & 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 you'll do...

What you'll do

  • 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.
  • Work with all our teams to make sure we're always busy, and help our Front Office Manager with any overbooking levels.
  • Answer phones, sort out requests, give recommendations to 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.

Qualifications

What we're looking for...

  • Individuals. 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.
  • 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.

Hiring process

Our selection process is designed to be smooth, respectful, and engaging. It typically includes an online application, interviews, and on occasion an assessment. We look beyond your CV — your personality, potential, and passion for hospitality matters to us

  • An assessment is used only on occasion.
