Step Into Hospitality: Join Our Rove Hotel Team at City Walk, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai
Ever dreamed of working at the heart of Dubai’s bustling hotel scene, where your smile sets the tone for someone’s entire stay? We’re on the lookout for front desk receptionists, customer service champs, and cashiers to join our five-star Rove Hotel at City Walk, Sheikh Zayed Road. Whether you’re starting out or ready for your next big move, here’s your chance to be part of something exciting and genuinely rewarding — all while living in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
About Rove Hotel
Here at Rove Hotel, we believe the best hospitality starts with great people. We’re a tight-knit team known for making everyone — guests and colleagues — feel right at home. Our energy? It’s contagious. Friday evenings might find us swapping travel stories over coffee in the lounge, or brainstorming ways to “wow” our guests just a little bit more. We’re growing fast, and we love ideas, ambition, and authenticity as much as we love our legendary breakfast spreads!
What You’ll Be Doing
- Greet guests warmly and make those first moments memorable — you’re the face of Rove.
- Check in and check out guests efficiently, ensuring every detail is just right.
- Respond to guest questions (sometimes the same ones, sometimes totally out-of-the-blue ones!) with patience and real warmth.
- Handle payments and process transactions accurately at the cashier desk.
- Coordinate with housekeeping and other staff to keep everything running smoothly — teamwork is second nature here.
- Handle guest requests, from extra towels to booking city tours, with a can-do attitude.
- Keep the front desk area polished and organized — a welcoming hub for guests and teammates alike.
- Tackle any guest concerns quickly and proactively; turning issues into happy memories when possible.
What You’ll Bring
- A friendly, approachable manner — nothing beats a genuine smile.
- Comfort working in fast-paced, multicultural settings (Dubai is a melting pot and so are we).
- Organized, with a knack for multitasking and keeping calm under pressure.
- Clear communication skills in English; additional languages are a plus.
- Willingness to work shifts, weekends, and holidays — hospitality runs 24/7!
- Freshers absolutely welcome — bring your energy, and we’ll show you the ropes.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you. Enthusiasm and a positive attitude go a long way!
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary from AED 3,000 to AED 6,500 based on your experience.
- Complimentary visa sponsorship, comfortable staff accommodation, and daily transportation.
- Generous annual leave to recharge and unwind.
- Diverse, inclusive team where “all nationalities welcome” isn’t just a line — it’s our reality.
- Ongoing learning and development — we want you to grow with us.
- A real sense of belonging, plus plenty of laughs and, yes, those famous Friday get-togethers.
We believe happy, supported staff make for happier guests — and that’s what makes the Rove experience stand out. If you’re in the UAE and ready to jumpstart your hospitality career (or take it to the next level), we can’t wait to meet you.
