White Lodging is a distinguished hospitality company that develops and operates a diverse and award-winning portfolio of premium-brand hotels, rooftop bars, and restaurants across some of the most vibrant and desirable cities in the United States. Renowned for its commitment to excellence and guest satisfaction, White Lodging places a strong emphasis on creating memorable experiences for travelers and local patrons alike. The company’s focus extends beyond providing superior accommodations and dining to fostering an environment where associates can thrive, feel supported, and grow both personally and professionally. White Lodging stands as a leader in the hospitality industry, ensuring its offerings align with evolving customer needs while maintaining the highest standards of service and quality.

This position is an exciting opportunity to join a company that understands that the heart of hospitality is about making people feel valued and cared for. The role you will assume is primarily focused on delivering exceptional guest experiences through direct interaction, product knowledge, and maintaining a clean and efficient work environment. As a vital member of the service team, you will be responsible for connecting with customers by preparing quality beverages and menu items while staying updated on seasonal specials and preparation techniques. Your personal presentation and ability to represent the brand as an ambassador will contribute significantly to the overall guest perception and satisfaction.

The role requires a dynamic, outgoing, and social individual passionate about guest service and capable of adapting to a fast-paced environment without compromising attention to detail and product quality. Although prior experience in a similar capacity is beneficial, it is not mandatory as the company values attitude and willingness to learn. Physically, the role entails standing for extended periods and occasionally lifting up to 30 pounds, thereby demanding stamina and physical readiness.

The position is designed to offer a comprehensive employment experience that includes competitive benefits such as medical, dental, and vision insurance starting from the first day, paid parental leave, vacation with rollover options, wellness resources, and financial benefits like a 401(k) with company match. Additional perks include access to discounted hotel rooms and dining, a healthcare concierge service, and opportunities across multiple hotel locations which can enhance career growth and diversification within the company’s extensive market footprint.

White Lodging operates as an equal opportunity employer with a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, welcoming and supporting associates from all backgrounds in fostering a collaborative and respectful work environment. Note that this hotel position is employed by an independent franchisee, separate from Marriott International, Inc., and all employment policies, compensation, and benefits are managed independently by the franchise owner. This separation ensures that while applicants can expect a consistent level of quality and service linked to the premium brand, the hiring and employment processes are exclusively administered by the franchise.
