Concierge

A Concierge attends to a range of guests’ needs at a hotel, motel or accommodation resort. You might greet guests when they arrive and escort them to their rooms. Concierges might arrange for other services such as car parking, transport or baggage handling. You might recommend places to visit such as restaurants or tourist attractions and you may make bookings or reservations on behalf of guests.

A Concierge needs to have excellent interpersonal skills and make customer service a priority. You’ll need to have strong working relationships with local venues and a thorough knowledge of your area’s attractions and facilities. Concierges must be organised and able to prioritise their tasks. You’ll need to be good at multitasking and able to handle the needs of several guests at one time.
