Hotel manager careers

Dealing with the everyday problems, hotel managers are responsible for the smooth day-to-day running of a facility. They can be responsible for a wide range of areas including:

• Front-of-house (reception, concierge, reservation)
• Housekeeping
• Banqueting
• Accounting
• Marketing
• Compliance with licensing laws, health and safety, etc
• Personnel
• Maintenance, supplies and furnishings
• Dealing with contractors and suppliers
  
  

In larger hotels, managers may be part of a team, responsible for just one of these areas, while in a small facility they will be responsible for everything.

In a large hotel, managers will typically have less contact with guests, spending their time overseeing employees. However, in a smaller establishment, the manager's role is much more hands on, dealing directly with guests and helping out wherever needed, for example carrying out reception duties, or serving meals.

There are 60,000 establishments in the UK, ranging from large multinational chains to small, family-owned independent ones, and job opportunities are growing steadily. Check out these sources for more information on this career:
