Your professionalism and ability to handle guest inquiries or concerns tactfully will be essential to fostering a welcoming environment where every guest feels valued and cared for.

Joining the InterContinental The Clement Monterey team means becoming part of a unique culture that values friendly, dependable, and energetic individuals who are passionate about creating memorable guest experiences. You will work closely with a dedicated team that strives for excellence in hospitality, helping to maintain high standards and contribute new ideas to continually enhance guest satisfaction. This full-time, non-exempt role offers starting pay at $23.00 per hour, reflecting the value we place on your skills and commitment. If you thrive in a dynamic restaurant environment, enjoy engaging with diverse guests, and wish to grow in your hospitality career, we invite you to apply and become a vital part of our vibrant hotel family.
