Who We Are 

Hospitality refined for a global mindset. 

The Global Ambassador Hotel is a Michelin Key luxury destination in Phoenix, known for redefining urban hospitality. We offer a unique and sophisticated experience for our guests, combining exquisite service, luxurious amenities, and a vibrant community atmosphere. Our focus is on providing an extraordinary stay that sets new standards for luxury and service. 

 

What You’ll Do 

Reservations & Guest Experience 

  • Manage all reservation channels (phone, email, online, in-house), making sure the process is seamless, accurate, and responsive to guest needs. 

  • Ensure confirmations, amendments, cancellations, dietary or seating requests, and special-occasion preferences are recorded, communicated and executed. 

  • Monitor and manage table allocations, wait-lists, and flow of covers to maximize guest comfort and operational efficiency. 

  • Maintain proactive and personalized service: anticipate guest needs (such as dietary accommodations, special occasions, seating preferences), and tailor interactions instead of reacting to requests. This aligns with luxury “anticipatory service” expectations. 

  • Ensure reservations department addresses guests by name (if known and appropriate), in a manner consistent with guest preferences, contributing to a sense of recognition and personalization.  

  • Adhere to timeliness standards: e.g. answering phones, putting guests on hold 

  • Maintain high standards of courtesy, articulation, and demeanor: staff must avoid slang, remain calm, polite, gracious, and attentive at all times. 

 

Team Leadership & Training 

  • Coach and mentor the reservations staff in luxury-service protocols, including anticipatory service, personalization, and etiquette. 

  • Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs), training materials, and refresher programs that incorporate Forbes-level expectations of guest engagement, appearance, professionalism, and efficiency.  

  • Monitor performance: response times, accuracy, guest feedback, no-show/cancellation rates, covers per seating. Use metrics to guide improvements. 

  • Foster a culture of attention to detail, consistency, and “above and beyond” service — not just meeting baseline needs, but creating memorable guest moments.  

 

Collaboration & Coordination 

  • Work closely with restaurant managers, culinary leadership, front-desk/concierge, and guest services to ensure seamless guest flow, transfers, and special requests. 

  • Participate in pre-shift and daily operations briefings to update on expected covers, VIP or priority guests, special requests, and seating challenges. 

  • Coordinate with marketing, sales, events, or private dining to manage group dining, special events, and promotional seatings. 

  • Ensure cross-communication is clear, timely, and consistent to support a cohesive guest experience across the hotel. 

 

Analytics & Reporting 

  • Produce regular reports on reservation trends, guest preferences, cancellation/no-show rates, average lead time to booking, seating efficiency, and guest satisfaction metrics. 

  • Use data to forecast demand, recommend staffing levels, adjust seating/flow strategy, and suggest promotional or operational improvements. 

  • Maintain awareness of luxury hospitality benchmarks, including Forbes standards, and drive continuous service improvement to align with or exceed those benchmarks.  

 

Quality Assurance & Standards 

  • Ensure that all guest interactions, from reservation to seating to service completion, meet or exceed the hotel's standards of professionalism, presentation, and warmth consistent with luxury service. 

  • Monitor guest feedback and service recovery efforts; ensure issues are handled swiftly, discreetly, and courteously. 

  • Stay current on industry best practices, service trends, and Forbes/T.G.A.H. brand expectations; implement service enhancements accordingly. 

  • Ensure that appearances (team uniforms, grooming), communication style, and guest handling are consistent, polished, and reflect the property’s luxury image. 

 

Qualifications 

  • At least 1+ year experience in reservations, hospitality, or guest relations required; leadership or supervisory experience strongly preferred. 

  • Expert knowledge of reservation systems and database management. 

  • Exceptional communication, organization, and attention to detail. 

  • Strong leadership presence with the ability to coach, motivate, and inspire a team. 

  • Proven ability to multitask and perform under pressure in a fast-paced luxury environment. 

  • Passion for curating extraordinary guest experiences. 

  • Professionalism and poise consistent with luxury brand standards.
