A Role That Creates Connections, Not Just Experiences

At Kimpton Sevn Dubai, we believe the best memories are made through people.

We're looking for a Lifestyle Manager who naturally connects with others, understands the art of personalised hospitality, and knows how to turn ordinary moments into meaningful experiences.

This role is about curiosity, creativity, and genuine human connection. You will be the face guests remember, the conversation they didn't expect, and the thoughtful detail that transforms a stay into something personal.

Working across the hotel, you will bring the Kimpton spirit to life by creating experiences that feel authentic, individual, and effortlessly memorable.

You are more than a host.

You are a connector, storyteller, and experience curator.

Creating Moments That Matter

At Kimpton Sevn, hospitality is personal.

As a Lifestyle Manager, you will:

• Build authentic relationships with guests throughout their stay
• Create personalised experiences based on individual preferences
• Anticipate guest needs before they are expressed
• Champion guest recognition and emotional engagement
• Bring the personality of the hotel into every interaction

You create moments that guests talk about long after they leave.

Why This Role Matters

They rarely forget how they felt.

In this role, you help shape those feelings by:

• Creating meaningful guest connections
• Supporting guest loyalty and repeat visitation
• Enhancing the lifestyle identity of the hotel
• Acting as an advocate for guest needs and preferences
• Building emotional engagement throughout the guest journey

You transform hospitality into something genuinely human.

Be the Personality Behind the Experience

You are naturally engaging, approachable, and emotionally intelligent.

Through your role, you will:

• Welcome guests as individuals, not room numbers
• Build relationships with VIPs, repeat guests, and long-stay residents
• Create memorable moments tailored to each guest profile
• Celebrate special occasions and milestones
• Help guests discover the unique personality of Kimpton Sevn Dubai

Your presence becomes part of the guest experience itself.
