Front Office Supervisor - Hotel Indigo Melbourne Little Collins and Holiday Inn Melbourne Bourke Street Mall

Front Office Supervisors – Hotel Indigo Melbourne Little Collins and Holiday Inn Melbourne Bourke Street Mall

One of Melbourne’s most iconic CBD arcades is fast transforming into a landmark retail and holiday destination. The redevelopment of "Melbourne Walk" Arcade will soon see IHG’s first Australian dual-branded hotel project. Nestled in the heart of Melbourne's vibrant CBD, this project combines the boutique charm of Hotel Indigo with the modern comfort of Holiday Inn, offering a unique blend of hospitality experiences across 452 rooms.

Open the door into Hotel Indigo and guests can expect local character, modern design and warm, professional service with a vibrant and individual flavour, bringing the edgy laneway neighbourhood of Little Collins Street to life. Making the most of the retail haven, Holiday Inn will offer a modern, fresh and friendly stay for a wide variety of guests coming to enjoy the convenience and value they know and love from Holiday Inn, and all that Bourke Street Mall has to offer.

As a Front Office Supervisor, you’ll be at the heart of the guest experience, supporting the smooth operation of the hotel with a strong presence in Front Office, supporting the Duty Manager.
