Hotel Managers are basically in charge of all hotel operations. They are accountable for budgeting, financial management, planning, organising and directing all services, including the concierge, room bookings, F&B, housekeeping, functions and room service.

Warm and Friendly Personality
Do people just melt when they see your smile or hear your gentle voice? Can you calm others down with just your presence? Not because they are afraid of you, but because you have such as warm and friendly personality that people can’t stay mad at you for long. If you answered ‘yes’, then a Hotel Manager is what you should be. P/S: Guys, this job is not only for girls.
Good organisational skills
While all your friends leave their clothes lying around the bedroom and unwashed plates in the sink, you wake up even before the sun rises to clean up the house. You ensure the placemat is straight, your white shirt ironed and the files arranged in alphabetical order. You take pride in your cleanliness and how to manage it all in such a short time.
Able to handle stress
A Hotel Manager must be able to handle stress effectively. That includes remaining calm when guests are yelling right at your face for the mess someone else made or they may not understand the hotel’s policy, get upset and demand more than what you can provide. Obviously, you cannot fight back so your skills as mentioned previously will come in handy at a time like this.
Hospitality Management
Event Management
A manager holds a very senior position in any company, almost like a director, so you will start off in a more junior position first and work your way to the top. You will need plenty of experience in almost every department first before you are eligible to be a Hotel Manager.
A bachelor’s degree is normally necessary for entry. Employers often ask for relevant work experience, not necessarily in a hotel but particularly in customer service or the hospitality industry. The ability to converse in a foreign language gives you an advantage. The more languages you speak, the better.
Since a Hotel Manager is one of the highest authorities in a hotel, they have to oversee every department, hence, it would require longer and irregular work hours. The hotel operates 24/7 so even if you’re on leave for one day, you still have to be prepared to settle an issue if anything goes wrong. Basically, a Hotel Manager must be present at all times. You might even have to work late into the night in order to prepare the hotel for people coming in.
