Hospitality Ambassador

The Hospitality Ambassador is the personal host of our most valued guests and the caring, compassionate face of both The Grand America and The Little America. Serving as the primary point of contact for VIP guests from pre-arrival through departure, the Ambassador partners closely with the Convention Services, Catering, Sales, Executive, and operational teams to anticipate every need and ensure that each guest is genuinely welcomed, thoughtfully cared for, and made to feel unmistakably special.

The role is defined by the little touches that turn a stay into a lasting memory. The Ambassador arranges and oversees the delivery of amenities, welcome gifts, and special requests; plans and personally executes celebrations for birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, and other milestones; and inspects VIP guest rooms and public areas to ensure they are pristine and ready ahead of arrival. Staying current on all rates, packages, promotions, in-house groups, and VIP arrivals across both properties, the Ambassador anticipates needs before they are spoken and provides thoughtful solutions in the moment.

The Hospitality Ambassador’s Impact at Grand America & Little America

• Genuine Hospitality, made personal. The Ambassador is the human relationship behind our most important guest experiences, turning a reservation into a warm, personal welcome and making every VIP feel known, valued, and truly at home at both properties.
• Anticipation guests can feel. By reading needs before they are spoken and coordinating seamlessly across every department, the Ambassador ensures that amenities arrive, occasions are celebrated, and preferences are honored — often before the guest has to ask.
• A legacy of guests who return. The relationships the Ambassador builds and the memories they help create are what bring our most important guests, groups, and partners back to Grand America and Little America year after year.
• Accountability for the whole experience. As the single point of ownership for VIP guests, the Ambassador connects Front Desk, Housekeeping, Food & Beverage, Engineering, and Bell and Valet into one seamless experience — and personally sees each detail through to completion.

When performed with care and excellence, the Hospitality Ambassador role is not a support function but a driver of the experience that makes Grand America and Little America what they are.
