Job Description

Kimpton Hotels is a renowned boutique hotel brand known for its distinctive approach to hospitality founded in San Francisco in 1981 by Bill Kimpton. The company distinguishes itself through a commitment to heartfelt, human connections that enrich the lives of guests, employees, and communities alike. Embracing a culture that celebrates individuality, creativity, and self-leadership, Kimpton Hotels offers a refreshing alternative to impersonal and generic service models prevalent in the hospitality industry. The company fosters a lively, rebellious, and authentic work environment where employees are encouraged to bring their unique backgrounds, talents, and personalities to work each day. This culture creates a genuinely exceptional experience for both staff and guests, anchoring its reputation in personal connections and meaningful service.

The role of Bartender at Kimpton Hotels embodies these values and offers an exciting opportunity for individuals passionate about crafting personalized guest experiences through beverages and service. Bartenders here are not only skilled in their craft but also act as advocates for the bar and restaurant, helping to cultivate lasting relationships with guests that drive repeat visits. This position demands professionalism, courtesy, and efficiency in preparing and serving drinks while ensuring guests feel welcomed and valued. The role extends beyond bartending to include maintaining the bar area, supporting the team, and sometimes taking on additional responsibilities that contribute to the overall success of the establishment. Through this role, employees contribute directly to the vibrant culture Kimpton is proud of, impacting guests and coworkers positively every day.

The bartender position is hourly, with a starting wage of $11 per hour, and offers a dynamic work schedule including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Kimpton places a strong emphasis on creativity, personal initiative, and teamwork within a somewhat quirky and empowering environment, making it an excellent fit for individuals who thrive in diverse and energetic settings. Employees are supported in their development with clear communication, collaborative teamwork, and a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion that permeates the company’s ethos. Kimpton Hotels values people from all walks of life, encouraging all to be themselves and contribute uniquely to an extraordinary guest experience. This is more than a job; it is a chance to be part of a brand with a heartfelt mission that continues to innovate and lead in boutique hospitality.
