Franchise Hotel - Operations Manager
This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.
About Us
We all know there's no place like home. But why should that stop us from creating elevated suites and community for both short and extended stay guests? At Staybridge Suites®, guests can enjoy a free, hot breakfast; complimentary evening social hour with appetizers three nights a week; and a friendly chat with new friends around the outdoor firepit. In over 300+ hotels globally, our inviting spaces offer a greater sense of community and thoughtful service that give guests the freedom to relax, work, and play. Just like our colleagues.
We'll help you create the warmest welcome. Whether you're preparing a suite exactly as your guest wants it, hosting The Social, or just knowing guests by their name, rather than their room number. Your big-hearted personality will help guests feel free to be themselves.
