The Housekeeper is responsible for maintaining the impeccable aesthetic and cleanliness of guest rooms and public areas, ensuring every visitor experiences a pristine and welcoming environment. This role involves the thorough cleaning of guest suites according to exacting standards, including stripping and remaking beds with fresh linens, vacuuming, dusting, and sanitizing bathrooms. Housekeepers are also responsible for replenishing guest amenities, managing their individual carts, and identifying any maintenance issues or safety hazards. Throughout their shift, Housekeepers act as ambassadors of the hotel, employing the "S.E.A.C." method to provide warm and professional interactions with guests in hallways and common spaces.

The ideal candidate is a proactive and detail-oriented individual with a strong commitment to the high standards of a luxury boutique environment.

Candidates must be able to follow specific chemical safety protocols and bloodborne pathogen procedures while working efficiently to meet daily room turn requirements.
