Job description

Grotto Social Baths is Miami's first modern social bathhouse—a communal wellness destination rooted in the timeless traditions of contrast therapy, sauna culture, and intentional gathering. Opening Spring 2026 in the heart of Wynwood, Grotto is designed for connection, not escape.

We offer a vibrant, high-touch environment where members and guests come together to sweat, plunge, and restore—together. Every aspect of the journey encourages guests to slow down, rediscover themselves, and find genuine human presence.

At Grotto, we hire for hospitality first. While specific operational skills are easily taught, a sincere and natural care for others is an essential quality our team must possess from day one.

About Grotto

At Grotto, we hire for hospitality first. While specific operational skills are easily taught, a sincere and natural care for others is an essential quality our team must possess from day one.

The Role

The Community Host is the first face of Grotto—the person who sets the tone for every visit. You make every guest feel like they belong here before they've even changed into a robe.

As the initial and final point of contact, you ensure that the journey begins and ends with warmth. You are the gateway to our community, turning what could be a simple entry into a meaningful welcome.

This role sits at the intersection of hospitality and membership. You aren't just checking people in; you're recognizing returning members, orienting newcomers, and ensuring every interaction is grounded in connection rather than just a transaction.

Whether a guest arrives with excitement or a bit of nervous curiosity, your primary objective is to make them feel entirely at ease and welcomed into the fold.

You will serve as a knowledgeable guide, helping guests navigate our membership options and bathhouse rituals. By building trust through authentic conversation, you naturally identify those ready to deepen their relationship with Grotto.

The Community Host reports to the General Manager and works closely with the Membership Director and the full front-of-house team.

A busy reception area doesn't ruffle you. You stay composed and organized, ensuring every person feels like they have your undivided attention.

Naturally curious about people

You enjoy connecting with others. You ask thoughtful questions and listen intently, intuitively knowing when to offer conversation and when to provide a quiet greeting.

Operationally sharp

You notice the small things—straightening a robe or tidying the lounge—because you believe true hospitality lives in the details.

Community-minded

You understand that belonging is built through hundreds of tiny interactions that make guests want to return again and again.

Team-first mentality

No task is too small. You assist your teammates whenever necessary, knowing that great guest experiences are always a collective effort.
