Front Office Manager (f/m/x)

The 25hours Hotel Paper Island, surrounded by water on Christiansholm, is just a short walk from Nyhavn. The island has been transformed into a vibrant new city neighborhood, featuring pioneering architecture by the award-winning COBE architects. These new buildings offer a fresh interpretation of harbor architecture, using concrete, brick, and timber. Inside the hotel, the design by STYLT Trampoli evokes the feel of a Scandinavian holiday home on a small island. Your journey to this Scandinavian retreat begins at the harbor-themed reception. The public spaces resemble a village, with a little shop reflecting the variety of items you might find there, from fishing gear to shoes to food. Once you make your way to our rooms or one our three dining outlets, you'll feel as though you’ve arrived at your holiday cottage.

As Front Office Manager, you are the face and rhythm of our hotel – leading a passionate team of 10-12 members to deliver seamless, heartfelt service from first arrival to final farewell.

• Lead and inspire a front office team of up to 12, fostering a positive, guest-focused culture.
• Ensure smooth day-to-day operations across reception, reservations, and guest relations.
• Be present in the lobby and front-of-house areas – visible, approachable, and ready to support.
• Train, coach, and develop your team, ensuring high standards of service and professionalism.
• Oversee scheduling, team performance, and shift handovers to maintain seamless coverage.
• Resolve guest issues quickly and thoughtfully, turning challenges into positive experiences.
• Collaborate closely with Housekeeping, F&B, and other departments to ensure a cohesive guest journey.

• You’re flexible, adaptable, and happy to work a mix of shifts including weekends and holidays.
