Job description

Work Where The Ocean Meets The Extraordinary

Some jobs come with a desk. This one comes with Carmel Beach sunsets, storybook cottages, gallery-lined streets, and the kind of guests who know that true luxury is personal.

At La Playa Hotel, you’ll be part of an iconic Carmel-by-the-Sea experience—one rooted in coastal elegance, warm California spirit, and service that feels effortless. This is your chance to become the person who turns an arrival into a moment, a recommendation into a memory, and a farewell into a reason to return.

Your Front-Row Seat To Hospitality

You’ll move through the hotel with confidence, curiosity, and a sixth sense for what guests need next. One minute, you’re welcoming a couple escaping for a Pacific Coast weekend. The next, you’re helping a family map out the perfect afternoon at Point Lobos or directing an art lover toward Carmel’s next must-see gallery.

• Create polished, genuinely warm arrivals and departures for every guest.
• Handle luggage with care, efficiency, and the kind of ease that makes five-star service look natural.
• Provide thoughtful local recommendations—from Carmel Beach and Scenic Road to world-class dining, wine tasting, boutiques, and nearby Monterey Peninsula adventures.
• Assist with guest requests, messages, packages, amenities, and transportation needs with impeccable timing.
• Answer calls promptly and communicate clearly with guests and fellow team members.
• Keep the lobby, bell stand, entrance, and surrounding public areas looking camera-ready at all times.
• Walk the property with a sharp eye for detail, helping ensure La Playa’s standards are felt in every corner.
• Drive guests safely when needed, representing the hotel with professionalism on every route.

The Energy You Bring

You’re equal parts polished and personable. You can read a room, carry a conversation, and make people feel instantly at ease—without ever making the experience feel scripted. You understand that hospitality is not about being formal; it’s about being fully present.

• A welcoming, guest-first mindset and strong communication skills.
• A valid driver’s license and a safe driving record.
• The ability to lift, carry, and transport guest luggage throughout the property.
• A professional appearance, dependable work ethic, and attention to the details others might miss.
• Flexibility to work a varied schedule, including weekends, holidays, and evenings as needed.
• A natural knowledge of—or excitement to learn—the Carmel-by-the-Sea lifestyle.

Why This Is More Than A Shift

La Playa Hotel isn’t simply a place to clock in. It’s a place to sharpen your instincts, meet people from everywhere, and help shape the rhythm of a legendary coastal stay.

You’ll work in a destination where there are no street addresses, the village is famously walkable, and the everyday backdrop includes cypress trees, white-sand beaches, art, architecture, and a little cinematic magic. Here, hospitality has personality. So should you.

Bring The Welcome

If you’re ready to trade ordinary workdays for meaningful guest moments—and bring your own style, warmth, and hustle to one of California’s most beloved coastal hotels,we’d love to meet you.

Come make every arrival feel like the beginning of something unforgettable.
