Be the Warm Welcome — and the Fond Farewell

AtGlasgow Marriott Hotel, we believe the best guest experiences are created by people who genuinely care.

As ourConcierge & Guest Experience Host, you’ll be one of the first friendly faces our guests see and one of the last they remember. From a warm welcome at arrival to those final “have a safe journey” moments, you’ll help make every stay feel personal, effortless and memorable.

You’ll know where to find the best of Glasgow — or be curious enough to find out. Whether it’s recommending a hidden gem, securing a last-minute restaurant booking, arranging transport, celebrating a special occasion or simply knowing the perfect place for a great coffee, you’ll be the person guests turn to.

This is a role for someone who loves people, thrives on variety and takes pride in making a difference. It’s about anticipating needs, creating connections and turning great service into genuine guest experiences.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Create a warm, confident and genuinely welcoming arrival experience for every guest.
• Be a knowledgeable and enthusiastic ambassador for Glasgow, sharing personalised recommendations for restaurants, attractions, events, shopping, nightlife and local experiences.
• Handle guest requests with energy and initiative — from transport and reservations to celebrations, experiences and those unexpected last‑minute asks.
• Make every interaction feel personal, professional and effortless, whether you’re welcoming a returning guest or helping someone discover Glasgow for the first time.
• Keep the lobby and Concierge area polished, organised and welcoming throughout the day.
• Work closely with Front Office and wider hotel teams to create a seamless guest journey from arrival through to departure.
• Use your initiative to resolve challenges quickly and positively, knowing when to take ownership and when to bring in the right colleague.
• Build strong relationships with guests and colleagues, creating memorable moments that go beyond expectations.
• Share your knowledge and experience with new team members and contribute to a positive, inclusive team culture.
• Represent the Glasgow Marriott Hotel with pride, professionalism and genuine Scottish hospitality.

• A warm, confident communication style and the ability to connect naturally with a wide range of guests.
• Excellent organisation skills and the ability to stay calm, focused and positive when things get busy.
• A proactive approach — you see what needs doing and get on with it.
• The confidence to work independently while being a supportive and collaborative team player.
• A genuine passion for creating memorable guest experiences.
• A flexible approach to working across a hotel environment, including weekends and varying shift patterns.

Most importantly,you’ll care about how people feel. You’ll take pride in the small details, enjoy making someone’s day better and understand that exceptional hospitality starts with genuine human connection.

What’s In It For You?
