Create a home for guests at Courtyard by Marriott Ghent!
Are you someone who gets energy from welcoming people, with genuine interest and a hospitable flair? Then we have the perfect spot for you on the Front Office team of the brand-new Courtyard by Marriott in Ghent!

For us, hospitality is not just about service – it's about creating meaningful moments. Whether you already have experience in hospitality or are taking your first steps in an international environment: if you have a passion for hospitality, we’ll help you grow.

You are the first face our guests see – and the one they won’t soon forget. You make sure everyone immediately feels welcome and at home.

Your tasks are varied and impactful:

• Warmly welcome guests and assist them with check-in and check-out, following Marriott’s quality standards.
• Be the go-to contact for questions, requests or concerns – always with a listening ear and solution-oriented approach.
• Know Ghent inside out and love to share tips about local hotspots, dining options and hidden gems.
• Think commercially and promote our hotel services by actively recommending additional amenities.
• Carefully register feedback and complaints, and ensure a swift and professional follow-up with your team.
• Operate the bar next to the reception: serve drinks and small dishes to our guests, always with the same hospitable flair.

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

You are someone who:

• Genuinely loves people and wants to leave a positive impression.
• Works well in a team but also takes initiative independently.
• Is open to flexible working hours, including shifts between 7 am and 11 pm, also on weekends.
• Is looking for full-time (38h) or part-time work.
• Communicates fluently in Dutch and English (knowledge of other languages is a plus).
• Experience in the hospitality sector is a bonus, but your attitude and willingness to learn are just as important to us.
• A diploma in Hotel Management or relevant front desk experience is a plus, but not required. What counts is your enthusiasm, commitment and customer-oriented mindset.

• A sustainable commitment via a permanent contract.
• An attractive salary package, including:
  DKV hospitalization insurance
  Meal vouchers and eco vouchers
  Worldwide employee discounts within Marriott International
• A flexible work arrangement: we support a healthy work-life balance and adapt to one another. A non-traditional 9-to-5 schedule also has its advantages – pick up your kids from school, go to that Tuesday sports class, or enjoy your free time while others are working.
• A unique opportunity from day one! Help launch a high-profile hotel opening where you can make an impact on the Front Office team from the very start.
• Room for growth via the Marriott training platform and on-the-job coaching.
• An open and supportive company culture – we believe in teamwork, trust and fun at work

About us
In a green oasis at an easily accessible location in Ghent, you’ll find our unique hospitality hub: a collaboration between Courtyard by Marriott, Holiday Inn Express and Residence Inn by Marriott. These three hotels together form a vibrant place where hospitality, comfort and experience are central. The hub also includes a state-of-the-art event center and the refined Arno Ristorante, a Tuscan fine-dining restaurant.

Courtyard by Marriott opens its doors in October 2025. The hotel has 174 stylish rooms and offers guests an inspiring blend of elegance and functionality. Thanks to the collaboration between the hotels, the event center and the F&B outlets, we create a seamless experience for both business travelers and tourists. Your stay, your way — that’s what we stand for.

Accessibility
Our location is easy to reach, wherever you're coming from. The hotel is located at Akkerhage 2B, 9000 Ghent, right off exit 9 (U.Z. Gent) of the E17. Coming by car? Park worry-free in our spacious free parking area. Cyclists, scooter riders or speed-pedelec users will find safe, well-designed bike paths all the way to the entrance, with convenient on-site bike parking. Public transport also brings you here easily: tram and bus stops are within walking distance, with smooth connections via De Lijn.
