Ghent Marriott Hotel is looking for a Host Meeting & Events to temporarily strengthen our team during a colleague’s leave (4-month replacement contract). You’ll help ensure the flawless execution of meetings, seminars, and other events in our spaces. Are you hands-on, guest-focused, and a true team player? We’d love to meet you!

About us

We are a leading hospitality group in the heart of Ghent, owning iconic hotels such as the Ghent Marriott, Residence Inn by Marriott, the recently opened Holiday Inn Express & Suites, and the soon-to-open Courtyard Ghent & Event Center.

The Ghent Marriott, situated along the picturesque Korenlei, is the flagship of our portfolio. The hotel features 150 luxury rooms, 9 versatile meeting rooms, and an award-winning riverside restaurant and terrace, Midtown Grill – Gent’s premier steakhouse, known for its premium cuts and bold flavors.

• Prepare our meeting rooms perfectly according to client specifications (layout, materials, setup).
• Set up coffee breaks (coffee, water, snacks) and ensure timely replenishment.
• Assist with lunch service and catering moments.
• Act as the main contact for clients during events and respond flexibly to their needs.
• Keep event spaces clean and tidy, restock supplies, and report issues to your supervisor.
• Work closely with kitchen and front office colleagues for smooth coordination.

• Experience as a waiter or in a similar role is a big plus, but not required – your motivation and customer-oriented attitude are what count most.
• You are flexible and available to work in shifts between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m., including weekends and public holidays.
• You are a team player with an eye for detail and enjoy working in a dynamic environment.
• You communicate well and speak fluent Dutch or English (other languages are a bonus!).
• You are looking for full-time (38h) or part-time work.

• A sustainable commitment through a fixed-term contract
• An attractive salary package, including:
  - DKV hospitalization insurance
  - Meal vouchers and eco vouchers
  - Global employee discounts within Marriott International
  - Full reimbursement of public transport costs
• A flexible work arrangement: we support a healthy work-life balance and adapt to each other’s needs. A non-traditional 9-to-5 schedule has its perks – pick up your kids from school, go to that Tuesday workout class, or enjoy time off while others are working.
• Opportunities for growth through the Marriott training platform and on-the-job coaching
• An open and supportive work culture – we believe in teamwork, trust, and having fun at work
