Marriott Hotels & Resorts

Company Details

Marriott Hotels are a great hunting ground for students looking for part time jobs or flexible work during the summer, Easter or Christmas holidays. The Marriott hotel chain has been named as one of the best companies to work for in the UK by The Times newspaper and parent company Marriott International provides jobs for over 120 thousand people in more than 70 countries worldwide.

The Marriott brand started out with just two motels in Washington DC, USA in the 1950s. Marriott Hotels & Resorts can now boast of a property portfolio of over 500 hotels and resorts. Marriott International as a whole is much, much bigger and includes brands like Renaissance Hotels, BULGARI Hotels and the Ritz-Carlton. In total, Marriott manages over 3,500 properties around the world.

There are around 50 Marriott hotels in the United Kingdom, with 10 in London alone. Other student towns and cities where you will find multiple Marriott hotels include Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester and Newcastle. They also have a presence in Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Bradford, Cardiff, Derby, Durham, Essex, Glasgow, Kent, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Northampton, Southampton, Sunderland, Swansea, York and other student areas.

Typical full or part time jobs at a Marriott hotel include positions in the front of house such as reception staff, valets, concierges and restaurant staff. Other roles at Marriott include kitchen workers, housekeeping staff, maintenance teams and security officers.

Marriott hotels often advertise a bunch of extra vacancies on a temporary basis for busy periods. For example, if you are looking for a Christmas job while you are on holiday from college or uni, then start checking for Christmas positions being advertised at Marriott hotels from as early as September.

Many people start out in part time jobs at a Marriott hotel but turn it into a full time career by moving into management positions.

The keys to succeeding in any of these sorts of roles within a Marriott hotel are strong customer service skills and great teamwork.

Marriott Hotels & Resorts also offer many support jobs for their hotels all over the world. You could find jobs in human resources, finance, operations, marketing, sales or IT at one of the Marriott regional offices.

Graduates can apply for the Marriott Voyage Global Leadership Development Program - and the company also offers internships, apprenticeships and entry level jobs for students.
