These hotels are designed not only to provide luxury but also to inspire guests and encourage unforgettable experiences. From a cutting-edge downtown icon to premier luxury lodges, vibrant entertainment destinations, and elite ski lodges, Kessler Hospitality delivers a diverse and distinctive range of accommodations for the individualist traveler seeking a memorable stay.
Among these notable properties is the AAA Four Diamond JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District, strategically situated in the heart of historic Savannah on the Savannah riverfront. This hotel offers guests an ideal location with countless activities within walking distance, including the downtown shopping district, a variety of dining options within the hotel, riverside bars, and guided city walking tours.

Guests can also enjoy resort amenities such as a full-service spa and exciting nightlife in the adjacent entertainment district.
The Barista role at this prestigious hotel provides a key customer service function within the property’s food and beverage operation. Baristas are responsible for taking customer orders, preparing coffee, tea, and other specialty drinks according to exact specifications, and ensuring a positive and warm customer experience throughout each interaction.

Baristas maintain a tidy and organized workspace to enable effective service delivery and are expected to demonstrate consistent attendance and punctuality. The role also requires compliance with health, safety, and sanitation standards to assure all products—beverages, whole bean coffee, and food—meet quality, recipe, and presentation requirements.
