Hotel Receptionist

Company

We are a leading hospitality group in the heart of Ghent, operating iconic hotels such as the Ghent Marriott, Residence Inn by Marriott, the newly opened Holiday Inn Express & Suites, and the soon-to-open Courtyard Ghent & Event Center.

The Ghent Marriott, located on the scenic Korenlei, is the flagship of our portfolio. The hotel features 150 luxury rooms, 9 versatile meeting spaces, and an award-winning riverside restaurant, Midtown Grill, Ghent’s premier steakhouse, known for its premium cuts and bold flavors.

Accessibility:

Ghent Marriott Hotel is located on the picturesque Korenlei in the heart of Ghent. You can reach us:

  • On foot or by bike: close to the city center with nearby bike parking
  • By public transport: just a 5-minute walk from the Korenmarkt tram stop
  • By car: within walking distance of parking garages ‘Kouter’ and ‘Ramen’

Tasks

You’ll be the first face our guests see – and the one they won’t forget. You ensure everyone feels immediately welcome and at home.

Your tasks are varied and impactful:

  • Warmly welcome guests and assist them during check-in and check-out, following Marriott’s quality standards.
  • Act as the go-to contact for questions, requests, or concerns – always with a listening ear and a solution-focused mindset.
  • Share your knowledge of Ghent’s local hotspots, dining tips, and hidden gems.
  • Take a commercial approach by actively recommending our hotel services.
  • Carefully register feedback and complaints, and ensure swift, professional follow-up with your team.

In short: you’re the host, trusted contact, problem-solver, and ambassador of our hotel – all in one.

Profile

  • A background in Hotel Management, Tourism, or similar, or relevant hospitality experience (e.g., front desk, reservations, customer service...).
  • Preferably at least two years of experience in a hotel or hospitality setting.
  • Experience with systems such as Opera, Protel, or Mews? Great! If not, we’ll teach you.
  • Experience with international guests, VIPs, or repeat customers is a plus.
  • Flexibility to work alternating morning, evening, or afternoon shifts, from Monday to Sunday.
  • Fluency in Dutch and English. An additional language like French, German, or Spanish is a nice bonus.

We’re not looking for a perfect résumé – we’re looking for the right vibe. If you’re passionate about guest experience and attentive to every detail, you’ll fit right in.

What describes you best?

  • You are strongly guest-oriented. You know how to approach guests in a warm and professional manner, with an eye for detail.
  • You are administratively accurate. Careful data processing is essential for error-free planning and service delivery.
  • You are communicatively skilled, both in writing – such as email correspondence with guests – and verbally, whether at the reception desk or on the phone.
  • You are solution-oriented and respond quickly and diplomatically to complaints or unforeseen situations.

Offer

At Ghent Marriott, you’ll work in a warm, professional setting within an international network. We invest in your development and ensure a positive working experience.

You’ll receive, among others:

  • An attractive salary package
  • Industry-leading DKV hospitalization insurance
  • Full reimbursement of public transportation costs
  • Meal and eco vouchers
  • A flexible work schedule: we support a healthy work-life balance and adjust to each other’s needs. A non-traditional 9-to-5 can have its perks - pick up your kids from school, attend that Tuesday sports class, or enjoy free time while others work.
  • Access to internal and external training opportunities
  • Numerous career advancement options
  • Exclusive hotel offers with employee discounts of up to 50%
