  • Proactively upsell room upgrades and hotel services in a refined, guest‑centric manner
  • Resolve guest concerns with sound judgment, professionalism, and a strong service‑recovery approach
  • Serve as a knowledgeable concierge resource, offering recommendations on hotel amenities and nearby Chicago attractions
  • Maintain clear communication with Housekeeping, Engineering, Bell Services, and Management to ensure seamless operations
  • Uphold all brand standards, service expectations, safety, and security procedures

  • Flexibility to work varied shifts, including evenings, weekends, and holidays
  • Positive attitude with a genuine commitment to service excellence
  • Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team environment

Physical & Work Requirements
