The company prides itself on its thoughtfully curated properties located throughout Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Each hotel in the Kessler Hospitality collection is a celebration of art, music, and cultural influences, designed to be approachable and immersive, creating unforgettable experiences for guests. These hotels embody a redefined Bohemian luxury spirit, ranging from vibrant downtown icons and premier luxury lodges to entertainment destinations and elite ski lodges. Kessler Hospitality was the founding member of the Marriott Autograph Collection, originally launching with seven Autograph Collection branded hotels. Each property in this collection stands out as a bold and original hotel meticulously tailored toward the style and tastes of individualist travelers.

One of their premier properties, the AAA Four Diamond JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District, is centrally located on the historic Savannah riverfront, surrounded by an array of activities such as downtown shopping, fine dining at multiple hotel restaurants, lively riverside bars, and scenic walking tours through Savannah’s famous districts. The hotel itself is an architectural gem, repurposed from an old power plant into a vibrant entertainment district featuring three distinct buildings with diverse styles – from chic industrial architecture in the Power Plant to intimate and romantic settings in the Three Muses, and modern maritime elegance in the Atlantic building. Guests at this hotel can also enjoy luxurious amenities such as a state-of-the-art spa before exploring the rich nightlife in Savannah’s entertainment zone.

The role of a Bartender at the JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District is a vital position within the hospitality team, charged with the complete setup and maintenance of the bar area, mixing drinks for guests and servers, and ensuring smooth, efficient, and courteous beverage service. This hourly position requires a dedicated individual who can maintain the cleanliness and service standards of the bar, manage the liquor inventory responsibly, and adhere strictly to state liquor laws. The bartender plays an essential role in guest satisfaction, delivering drinks with precision, as well as a warm and friendly demeanor that aligns with Kessler Hospitality’s commitment to exceptional customer experiences.

Bartenders must be attentive, helpful, and courteous to both guests and colleagues at all times. They are responsible for preparing beverages and cocktails according to established recipes and presentation standards, promptly serving guests’ needs while maintaining a clean and organized workspace. Post-service responsibilities include breaking down the bar after functions, storing liquor and supplies properly, and ensuring compliance with all hotel policies. Safety is paramount, and bartenders must be familiar with emergency procedures including fire exits and the operation of fire extinguishers. This position also requires handling guest concerns professionally, responding to complaints or incidents swiftly to maintain a positive environment.

The bartender role at Kessler Hospitality demands professionalism, a strong work ethic, and the ability to multitask in a fast-paced setting. Candidates should be comfortable standing for extended periods and capable of performing medium physical tasks such as lifting and carrying up to 50 pounds occasionally. Effective verbal and written communication skills are crucial for interacting with guests and team members, along with the capacity to listen actively and resolve issues proactively. This role involves flexible hours, sometimes requiring long shifts, and demands a neat personal appearance adhering to uniform standards. Staff are expected to participate in all required training and meetings, uphold confidentiality, and demonstrate initiative by anticipating guest and operational needs. The bartender is also encouraged to cross-train in other hotel functions, contributing to a collaborative and knowledge-sharing team environment. This position is a rewarding opportunity for individuals passionate about creating memorable guest experiences within one of the most iconic boutique hotel settings in Savannah.
