In October 2025, Courtyard by Marriott Ghent will open its doors with 174 rooms and the brand-new Scala Event Center, with a capacity of up to 350 people. For the commercial and operational launch, we are looking for an enthusiastic Reservations & M&E Coordinator. In this key role, you combine hospitality with organization and serve as the main point of contact for both individual guests and corporate clients.

You’ll play a dual role, being responsible for both room reservations and meetings & events:

• You handle individual room reservations via email, phone, or online booking channels. You ensure accurate, smooth, and customer-focused processing in the reservation system.
• You coordinate group requests for meetings and events from A to Z: follow up on inquiries, prepare quotes, communicate with clients, and create event schedules in consultation with the team.
• You liaise with internal departments such as Sales, F&B, and Front Office.

• You have a bachelor's or master’s degree in hotel management, tourism, economics, business administration, or a similar field.
• Preferably, you have experience in a similar role within the hotel or events industry.
• You are digitally savvy and proficient in reservation and planning systems such as PMS software (e.g., Opera), Excel, and communication platforms.
• You communicate clearly and professionally in both Dutch and English, both spoken and written. Additional language skills (French, German, Spanish…) are a plus.
• You work accurately, keep an overview, and can easily switch between different priorities.
• You radiate warmth in customer contacts and ensure a worry-free experience, time and time again.

At Courtyard by Marriott Ghent, you will join a warm, professional work environment with international flair. We invest in your growth and job satisfaction. You will receive:

• A long-term commitment through a permanent contract
• An attractive salary package
• DKV hospitalization insurance
• Meal and eco vouchers
• Full reimbursement of public transport costs
• Modern tools and equipment: you’ll receive a laptop and smartphone
• A flexible work arrangement: we support a healthy work-life balance and adapt to one another. A non-traditional 9-to-5 schedule has its perks – pick up your kids, attend that Tuesday sports class, or enjoy your time off while others are working
• Continuous top-level training, including via Marriott International – because learning never stops
• Exclusive hotel offers with staff discounts of up to 50%
