The role of a Mixologist at Renaissance Hotels goes beyond traditional bartending. It calls for a passionate individual who is not only skilled in the art of crafting cocktails but also serves as an ambassador of the hotel's unique discoverer service experience. This part-time, non-management position requires a candidate who is enthusiastic about providing memorable guest interactions and who is constantly seeking to incorporate the latest industry trends and local offerings into their craft. The Mixologist is expected to look after the entire bar experience, from maintaining an impeccable bar setup to managing the flow of operations efficiently during shifts, especially on Fridays and Saturdays when availability is preferred. This role demands a hands-on approach that includes physically engaging tasks such as standing, walking, lifting, and moving objects up to 25 pounds and requires excellent attention to detail in cash handling, drink quality, and guest communication.

A successful Mixologist at Renaissance Hotels is more than someone who can mix drinks; they are hosts who create a welcoming atmosphere, anticipate guest needs, and build meaningful relationships with both guests and colleagues. They work closely with hotel management to foster a team-oriented culture and contribute to recruitment and training efforts. With at least one year of relevant experience preferred, coupled with a high school diploma or equivalent, candidates are expected to be knowledgeable about different wines, including their origin, vintage, and style, and have an ability to readily respond to guest inquiries with confidence and professionalism. The position encourages flexibility, creativity, and a continuous commitment to learning and growth within the vibrant hospitality industry. This is a perfect opportunity for individuals eager to thrive in a dynamic, guest-centered environment while becoming an integral part of Renaissance Hotels’ mission to deliver exceptional and authentic local experiences.
