Host

Welcome to The Usual Rotterdam, a design hotel and F&B hotspot in Rotterdam. The Usual offers more than just accommodation, it provides a warm and inviting atmosphere where guests are treated like friends. Are you a natural host with a passion for hospitality and do you feel your best working in a great team? Would you like to ensure that every guest leaves full of positive energy? Join us!

As a Host you are responsible for creating and unforgettable experience for our guests throughout their stay. As a natural host, you take pride in making people feel comfortable, valued, and at home from the moment they arrive. As part of your daily shift, you will be working at the check-in area, U Bar and our restaurant locations.

Be you with us

We are a hotel group on a mission to prove that travel can be a force for good. The Usual don’t just operate hotels, we create welcoming city experiences that inspire guests, colleagues, and local communities to make a positive impact.

Our culture is built on optimism, collaboration, and growth. We own it, we care deeply and we stay curious together. We create an environment where people feel supported, empowered, and free to be themselves. Great hospitality is never done alone, it’s built together, every single day.

The role

As host, you’re not only welcoming our guests, you create experiences for them. Picture yourself and your colleagues as memory makers, where you won’t hide behind a desk. You will shine between check-in, bar, pantry, restaurant, terrace & meeting rooms. During your shift, you are engaged in:

• Creating a warm, inviting, and cozy atmosphere that sets the tone for a positive stay from the very first hello
• Anticipating guest needs and preferences through conversations and thoughtful questioning.
• Spread moments of joy by surprising our guests with unexpected gestures.
• Address guests’ concerns and find swift solutions to secure their happiness.
• Being a real team player. One moment you'll check in our guests, the next you'll be shaking The Usual cocktail for them or helping your team in the pantry.
