Description
We’re People People. Are you?
We’re Sonesta International Hotels—the 8th largest hotel company in the U.S. (and growing fast 🚀).
With a dynamic mix of full-service and focused hotels across major cities, our diverse portfolio of owned, managed, and franchised properties means we’re everywhere our guests need us to be.
But here’s the thing—we’re not just in the business of hotels, we’re in the business of people. We bring service with passion, loyalty with purpose, and create experiences that genuinely connect—delivering quality, value, and memorable stays across 1,000+ properties in eight countries (and counting).
What this role is all about
Great guest experiences don’t stop when the sun goes down — and our Night Auditors help keep everything running smoothly overnight. You’ll welcome late-arriving guests, support overnight hotel operations, and ensure the day’s financial activity is accurate and ready for the morning team.
This role is perfect for someone who is dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently. You’ll balance warm, attentive guest service with front desk responsibilities, financial reporting, and overnight safety and security procedures.
If you’re a night owl who stays calm under pressure and loves creating exceptional hospitality experiences — we’d love to meet you.
What you’ll be doing
Provide friendly, professional, and attentive guest service during overnight Front Desk operations including check-in, check-out, and guest assistance.
Complete nightly audit procedures including balancing accounts, reconciling transactions, processing financial reports, and closing daily hotel operations.
Monitor overnight hotel activity and respond promptly and professionally to guest requests, concerns, and operational needs.
Process guest payments, billing adjustments, cash handling procedures, and PMS transactions accurately.
Prepare and distribute daily operational, accounting, and occupancy reports for hotel leadership teams.
Maintain strong knowledge of hotel operations, room inventory, reservations systems, guest service standards, and hotel procedures.
Support room assignments, reservations, wake-up calls, and overnight operational coordination across departments.
Monitor hotel safety, security, and overnight operational readiness while following hotel safety procedures and policies.
Maintain cleanliness, organization, and presentation standards across Front Desk and lobby areas.
Partner closely with Housekeeping, Engineering, Security, and hotel leadership teams to support smooth overnight operations.
Any other duties as assigned.
