As a Front Office Intern, you will be the primary ambassador of the hotel. Your mission is to provide a seamless "Arrival and Departure" experience while acting as the central hub for guest communication. You will learn the operational standards of a global hospitality leader and master the art of anticipating guest needs before they are even expressed.


Key Responsibilities:


1. Guest Arrival & Departure

  • Handle room assignments, issue key cards, and escort guests to their rooms while explaining hotel features.

  • Process guest payments, currency exchanges, and final billing with high accuracy.

     


2. Concierge & Guest Relations



  • Act as a local expert, providing recommendations for dining, sightseeing, and transportation.

  • Coordinate with the Bellman and Valet teams to ensure luggage and vehicles are handled efficiently.

  • Manage guest requests (e.g., extra pillows, dinner reservations, wake-up calls) and follow up to ensure satisfaction.


3. IHG One Rewards & Loyalty



  • Recognize and welcome loyalty members, ensuring they receive their specific benefits (upgrades, welcome drinks, etc.).

  • Actively promote the IHG One Rewards program to non-members to drive enrollment.


4. Problem Resolution



  • Listen to guest concerns with empathy and take immediate action to resolve issues.

  • Maintain a "logbook" of guest preferences and feedback to help personalize future stays.

  • Ensure a smooth hand-over between shifts, communicating all pending guest matters to the next team.
