Job description

Do you see yourself as an F&B Server in our In Room Dining team here at Crowne Plaza® HotelDubai Festival City?

There's nothing complicated about dealing with business people.

They're just people. Doing business.

By day, international marketing superhero. By night: fluffy bath robe and a box set.

Like Liz, who’s left her laptop cable in the cab. Or Mario, who’s secretly missing his cats. The early riser, who’s first in the gym. The sales team preparing for the ‘big pitch’ over a freshly prepared lunch. At Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts, we embrace the new world of business and understand that Modern business travellers want a hotel (and a hotel team) that understands and supports them, helping at every turn.

The InterContinental Hotels Group® at Dubai Festival City consists of four hotels.
