Receptionist

Receptionist at The Kensington Hotel

This is a full-time role, working 5 shifts a week

Kensington Hotel, reigns as an exemplar of the Doyle Collection, reminiscent of a bygone era of Victorian sensibilities from the doorman in classic uniform and bowler hat, the grandeur of high ceilings, bespoke fabrics and furnishings, and historical fireplaces. But guests immediately experience the warmth and welcome of this casual sophistication, not stuffy but reflecting the vibrant London social scene with international travelers, couples seeking a romantic getaway, families and friends.

As a Receptionist, you will be the friendly face our guests see when they first arrive at our hotel. Providing a warm welcome and anticipating guests needs will come as second nature to you, as will be your impressive multi-tasking skills.
