Sydney Boutique Inn & Suites – Hiring practices

June 3, 2019

Contact Company

Sydney Boutique Inn & Suites
Brian Spence, Front Desk Manager, and Meghan MacDonald, Front Desk Clerk.

Sydney Boutique Inn & Suites, Charlottetown

Jobs: Front Desk/Night Auditors, Housekeeping, Breakfast Attendants

This five-star boutique hotel has 22 apartments and 18 hotel rooms that are rented out long-term from October to May, and by the night during peak season.

“We are one of a kind,” says Brian Spence. “We bring the history of the 1857 Notre Dame Convent to a unique modern-day boutique inn.”

About 25 people work there in the summer in full-time, part-time, seasonal, or permanent positions.

“Front Desk Clerk can be the hardest position to fill,” says Brian. “They need to be super outgoing, able to spark a conversation with anyone, recommend places to see and things to do, be helpful and resolve situations, be confident working by themselves, and happy to show up for work. It is hard to find that.

“Experience is an asset, but I am a firm believer in giving someone their first chance. If they have the passion and the confidence and want to learn, we can teach them the skills they need.

“I started on the front desk, and in two years, worked my way up to manager. There is always room to grow.”

To apply, drop off your resumé in person, or email [email protected].
