FandB Hostess - InterContinental Abu Dhabi

Be the Warm Welcome at Our Award-Winning Dining Venues

At InterContinental Abu Dhabi, we believe that first impressions last. We are looking for a poised, friendly, and service-oriented F&B Hostess to be the welcoming face of our restaurants and lounges. If you have a passion for guest interaction and a flair for hospitality, this is your moment to shine.

As an F&B Hostess, you are the first point of contact for our guests. Your role is to ensure every guest feels welcomed, well-seated, and cared for from the moment they arrive until they leave. You’ll manage reservations, maintain smooth seating flow, and support the restaurant team in delivering a seamless dining experience.

A little taste of your day-to-day:

Every day is different, but you’ll mostly do:

• Greet guests warmly upon arrival with genuine hospitality and professionalism.
• Manage reservations and seating plans to optimize service efficiency.
• Escort guests to tables, present menus, and communicate relevant information to the service team.
• Build rapport with guests and remember frequent diners and their preferences.
• Handle guest inquiries, special requests, or concerns with grace and attentiveness.
• Support the outlet team during busy service periods with coordination and guest updates.
• Maintain the cleanliness and presentation of the reception and waiting areas.
  
  

What we need from you:

• Previous experience as a hostess or in a guest-facing hospitality role is preferred.
• Well-groomed, presentable, and confident communicator.
• Fluent in English; knowledge of Arabic or other languages is a plus.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to multitask and remain calm under pressure.
• Friendly, approachable, and guest-focused personality.
• Flexible to work in rotating shifts, including weekends and public holidays.
