In October 2025, we’re opening a state-of-the-art event center in Ghent – a stylish meeting place where business and festive moments come together in an atmosphere of class and sophistication. For this exceptional venue, we’re looking for a waiter/waitress – someone who welcomes guests with flair, guides them discreetly, and ensures a flawless experience from arrival to departure. You are the quiet force up front: professional, hospitable, and always one step ahead.
What will your role involve?
You’ll warmly and professionally welcome our guests during events, meetings, or dinners.
You’ll be present in the room, anticipating guests’ needs without being intrusive.
You’ll serve dishes, buffet platters, and drinks from the kitchen and bar to the meeting and banquet rooms.
You’ll help ensure that event spaces remain neat, professional, and attractive.
You’ll communicate any special requests or issues to the event supervisor.
You’ll uphold the atmosphere and guest experience – stylish, attentive, and service-oriented.
Who are we looking for?
Experience as a waiter/waitress or in a similar role is a strong plus, but not a requirement – your motivation and customer-focused attitude matter most.
You’re flexible and willing to work shifts between 7 AM and 11 PM, including weekends and holidays.
You’re a team player with an eye for detail and enjoy a dynamic pace.
You’re communicative and speak fluent Dutch or English (additional languages are a bonus!).
You’re looking for a full-time (38h) or part-time role.
What do we offer you?
A sustainable commitment via a permanent contract
An attractive salary package, including:
DKV hospitalization insurance
Meal and eco vouchers
Global staff discounts within Marriott International
A flexible work schedule: we support a healthy work-life balance and adapt to each other’s needs. A non-traditional 9-to-5 schedule has its benefits – pick up your kids from school, attend that Tuesday workout class, or enjoy your free time while others are working.
A unique opportunity to be part of our launch from day one! Help shape a remarkable grand opening and make your mark from the start.
Room to grow, through the Marriott training platform and on-the-job coaching.
An open and supportive company culture – we believe in teamwork, trust, and fun at work.

Together, these three hotels form a vibrant destination where hospitality, comfort, and experience take center stage. The hub includes a state-of-the-art event center and the refined Arno Ristorante, a Tuscan fine-dining restaurant.
The ultra-modern event center is the new hotspot for meetings, trainings, celebrations, and social events. With 750 m² of elegant event space divided across 8 multifunctional rooms, and surrounded by our three top hotels – offering a total of 405 rooms – we bring business and experience together seamlessly.
Arno Ristorante, located at the heart of the event center, brings the flavors of Tuscany to life in a warm, lively setting. Featuring refined cuisine, an extensive selection of Brunellos, Super Tuscans, and surprising Negronis, this is set to become a new culinary hotspot.

Our location is easily accessible from wherever you’re coming. The event center and Arno are located at Akkerhage 2B, 9000 Ghent, right by exit 9 (U.Z. Gent) on the E17 highway.
