Maybe you will take the stage as a Night Receptionist at the Hard Rock Hotel Amsterdam American.
POSITION SUMMARY
You come in at 23:00, the music is blasting in the lobby and there are
guests all over the place! Great, your day starts with checking in guests who
had a delayed flight. With your enthusiastic and upbeat story about the hotel

and guests want some fresh towels, no problem, you run upstairs and hand them

throughout the night. You also don’t mind to do some administrative tasks and
financial handling which are part of the night audit.
At 07:00 your day ends and it is time for bed! You had a great shift and feel totally satisfied.
