Job Description

Marriott International is a renowned global hospitality company known for its commitment to excellence and delivering exceptional guest experiences. One of its distinguished brands, the Autograph Collection, comprises a unique portfolio of four and five-star independent hotels that stand out for their quality, originality, and bold character. Each property within this collection is carefully selected to provide distinctive and memorable experiences that cater to the individual tastes and adventurous spirit of travelers who seek more than just a place to stay. Located at the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, this particular establishment offers guests an immersive environment where luxury and personalized service are paramount.

We are seeking a part-time non-management Host to join our dedicated team. This role is essential in shaping guests' first impressions and ensuring a welcoming, organized, and efficient dining experience. The Host will greet guests warmly, assist with seating arrangements, and maintain an orderly dining environment. This position requires attentiveness to detail, strong communication skills, and a friendly demeanor to support our commitment to customer satisfaction. As a Host, you will be the face of the dining service, guiding guests through the dining room, answering questions, managing table arrangements including special requests, and ensuring that all areas are clean and inviting throughout the day. This role involves standing, walking, and occasionally handling light tasks such as moving chairs and arranging table settings.

The job is located onsite at the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, a prestigious location within Walt Disney World Resort that hosts a mix of leisure and business travelers. Being part-time, this position offers flexibility for individuals looking to balance work with other commitments. The Autograph Collection values inclusivity and diversity, fostering an environment where every associate's unique background is celebrated.
