Create a home for guests – even at night – at Courtyard by Marriott Ghent!

Are you a night owl with a warm heart for people? Then you might be the perfect Night Receptionist for our brand-new Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Ghent!

With us, hospitality doesn't stop at night – it’s about creating meaningful moments even when most people are asleep. As Night Receptionist, you’re both the main point of contact for our guests and the guardian of peace, safety and continuity.

A behind-the-scenes look at your role

As a Night Receptionist, you are both the face of the hotel at night and the watchful guardian. Your responsibilities are varied and crucial:

• Warmly welcoming guests and checking them in and out during the night.

• Performing security rounds inside and around the hotel to safeguard safety and quiet.

• Monitoring who enters and leaves the hotel.

• Being the first point of contact in case of fire alarms, medical emergencies or other incidents, following established procedures.

• Operating the bar for late orders, such as drinks and small snacks.

• Performing minor cleaning tasks in the lobby or preparing for the breakfast team.

• Answering phone calls and emails, handling questions or problems.

In short: at night you’re the host, receptionist, security guard and trusted point of contact in one.

Who are we looking for?

You are someone who:

• Radiates calm, discretion and hospitality, even at night.

• Functions excellently both independently and as part of a team.

• Is flexible and doesn’t shy away from night shifts or weekend work.

• Is looking for full-time (38h) or part-time work.

• Communicates fluently in Dutch and English (other languages are a plus).

• Has experience in hospitality, reception or security (experience with night shifts is an advantage).

• Has basic knowledge of hotel reservation systems or can learn this quickly.

• A diploma is less important than your reliability, sense of responsibility and service-oriented attitude!

What do we offer you?

• A sustainable commitment via a permanent contract.

• An attractive salary package, including:

  • DKV hospitalization insurance

  • Meal vouchers and eco vouchers

  • Worldwide employee discounts within Marriott International

• A flexible work arrangement: we support a healthy work-life balance and adapt to one another. A non-traditional 9-to-5 schedule also has its advantages – pick up your kids from school, go to that Tuesday sports class, or enjoy your free time while others are working.

• A unique opportunity from day one! Help launch a high-profile hotel opening where you can make an impact on the Front Office team from the very start.

• Room for growth via the Marriott training platform and on-the-job coaching.

• An open and supportive company culture – we believe in teamwork, trust and fun at work.
