WHO YOU ARE

You are a night-owl, feeling most alive while most everyone else is fast asleep. You have a passion for hospitality, while enjoying the unique character of our overnight guests. You are perfectionist by nature and know that anything worth doing is worth doing well. You are someone who doesn't settle for ordinary, and have an aversion to blase service, knowing that effort and spontaneity are the alchemy for the extraordinary. You are genuine, yet polished, and aren't afraid to venture outside of the norm and do things differently. You obsess over the details (the Science) and presentation (the Art), striving to create an experience that surprises and inspires. You relish the opportunity to be part of the distinctive soul of a unique hotel, where your creativity and passion are appreciated, supported, and expected.

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 Hotel Group which was founded in 2011. 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 the disparate forces together in bustling, smaller markets.

THE ROLE

The Ambassador role is not a front desk receptionist hiding behind a desk, generating paperwork, and swiping credit cards. At Hotel Haya, the Ambassador owns the guest experience, ensuring that no need goes unmet and no opportunity to make a guest's visit special is missed. The ambassadors are exquisite hosts, just as comfortable arranging the details of a surprise proposal, as they are giving a hotel tour to a curious neighbor or maneuvering a bell cart. The Ambassador knows the ins and outs of both the hotel and the surrounding community, and with a gracious demeanor and warm presence makes every guest entering the lobby feel at ease, knowing that they have selected the right place. This position turns details and tidbits about guests into recognition and actions that make a stay at Hotel Haya a personal, one-of-a-kind experience.
