Job Description

Hyatt Regency Minneapolis is part of the globally recognized Hyatt Hotels Corporation, a prestigious hospitality company that offers guests exceptional travel experiences through its diverse portfolio of hotels, resorts, and vacation properties. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis stands out as a cornerstone of hospitality in the city, delivering memorable stays tailored to business and leisure travelers alike. Known for its prime location, state-of-the-art facilities, and commitment to service excellence, Hyatt Regency Minneapolis creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for every guest and colleague who walks through its doors. The hotel prides itself on fostering a culture of care, where individuality is celebrated, and employees are empowered to be their best selves. This supportive environment contributes significantly to the overall guest experience and ensures a collaborative, inclusive workplace.

Joining Hyatt Regency Minneapolis means becoming part of a dynamic team that values dedication, hard work, and a passion for hospitality. The Events Set-up Houseperson position is a critical role within the hotel’s event management and banquet operations. This role involves the detailed preparation, set-up, and breakdown of various meeting spaces, ensuring optimal readiness for corporate events, social gatherings, and other functions hosted within the hotel. The necessary setup includes arranging tables, chairs, and technical equipment precisely according to room diagrams and event orders, requiring attention to detail and physical stamina.

The job demands excellent communication skills since the Events Set-up Houseperson collaborates closely with event planners, catering staff, and other hotel departments to meet client specifications and maintain operational efficiency. As this is a fast-paced role, the candidate must be able to adapt quickly, demonstrate reliability, and maintain a proactive attitude. The ability to lift moderate weight—up to 50 pounds—is essential, and the position requires standing and walking for extended periods during the shift.

Hyatt Regency Minneapolis offers a well-rounded benefits package for this role, emphasizing employee well-being and career growth. Eligible employees can access health benefits within 30 days of employment, participate in a 401K plan with company matching, and take advantage of discounted and complimentary room nights at more than 1,000 Hyatt properties worldwide. Other perks include education assistance, discounted parking, access to a fully equipped gym, free meals in the colleague cafeteria, and food and beverage discounts from onsite restaurants. Paid time off covering vacation, sick time, and holidays is also provided, with eligibility and accrual depending on employment status.

Overall, the Events Set-up Houseperson position at Hyatt Regency Minneapolis is ideal for individuals who thrive in a team-driven environment, value excellent communication, and seek a reliable hospitality career with opportunities for growth. This role not only supports the smooth execution of events but also contributes significantly to the positive guest experience that Hyatt is renowned for. If you are organized, physically capable, and excited to join a global brand that champions its employees as much as its guests, Hyatt Regency Minneapolis welcomes your application.
