Located just 10 minutes from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), our hotel offers easy access to King Street’s 200+ restaurants, shops, bars, and nightlife and George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate and numerous museums and art galleries plus proximity to all the attractions Washington, DC, has to offer, just across the river.

About the Front Desk Agent position

The moment a guest steps into one of our hotels, they walk into a genuinely memorable experience. As a Front Desk Agent, you’ll not only be the person they rely on to handle transactions, offer local insights and anticipate every detail of a friction-free experience. You’ll also create the warm atmosphere that makes our guests feel at home in any location.

• Take and manage guest bookings, up-selling opportunities and telling them about ways to improve their stay. 
• Handle cash and credit transactions. 
• Start every stay right by swiftly checking guests in and out - take IDs, hand out room keys, and control and release safety deposit boxes. 
• Stay one step ahead of guests’ needs – record and act on their preferences, and handle their messages, requests, questions and concerns.

• Take pride in your appearance and place as a brand ambassador. 
• Always know what events and activities are on the day’s schedule.

• Your problem-solving skills will turn issues into opportunities so every guest leaves with great memories.

• Literate and tech-savvy - you’ll need a good grasp of reading, writing, basic maths and computers
