WHO WE ARE

Hotels done differently. It's not just a slogan or catchphrase, it is who we are in everything we do. We believe in the power of People, Place and Character; ensuring our properties are a place where individuals are valued and celebrated as a tribute to the neighborhoods and the people of the communities in which we operate; elevating our associates' pride in who they are, where they live and who we serve.

Located in the heart of historic Ybor, a trolley ride away from downtown Tampa, Hotel Haya is a hub of activity. Blending Cuban, Italian, and Spanish influences, the property features 178 guest rooms, over 7000 square feet of banquet space, a world-class restaurant, airy cafe, and lush courtyard with a pool.

Hotel Haya is managed by Aparium, who has just been named to Travel + Leisure's Top 25 Hotel Brands in the World. Driven by the belief that all hospitality experiences should be fueled by the poetics of their surroundings, Aparium was born with an intense focus on unearthing the amazing moments unique to every city. Since its founding, Aparium has grown into a new kind of hotel brand, one that ventures off the beaten path, both geographically and philosophically. It is a sophisticated hotel brand known for its singular ability to combine the business acumen of large hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels, bringing disparate forces together in bustling, smaller markets.

WHO YOU ARE

You are someone who is obsessed with hospitality: it is quite natural for you to walk into a hotel and want to fluff every pillow you see, judge the level of cleanliness, or ask the front desk what type of system they are using. You get excited about how amenities are packaged, a guest service story created by an employee's intuition, and can strip a bed faster than the best housekeeper. You enjoy casual sophistication and realize the concept of luxury has evolved to be approachable, and loathe heavily scripted interactions and cookie-cutter experiences.

Your career experience is eclectic and dynamic, and take great pride in having worked your way through a variety of rooms division roles. You are humble and understand the need to work side by side with others, and take feedback seriously to improve upon processes. You love the collaborative environment you find in hotels, and have a special place in your heart for the people and teams you have worked with and developed throughout your career.

THE ROLE

The Guest Services Manager sets the tone for the front-of-house guest experience of the hotel. This integral role leads the Guest Services department, ensuring that the service delivered to our guests is unique and memorable, meeting our high expectations. Though this is a management role, it is certainly not one in which you spend the entire day in the office doing paperwork. Instead, your day is spent where you are at your best: in the lobby with your team, delivering innovative guest experiences.

The Guest Services Manager reports to the Director of Hotel Operations, working together on how to deliver remarkable guest experiences. It is critical the person in this position possesses a diverse knowledge of Rooms Division operations and is willing to dive into the day-to-day operation, while balancing and directing the long-term goals of the hotel. You lead the team through your collaborative approach-you understand that the ability to act as a soldier is as critical as being a general.
