Join us for this incredible opportunity to be part of our Food & Beverage team as a Seasonal Host at our rooftop lounge, The Nest at Thompson Seattle!

With a sleek glass façade offering dramatic views of Puget Sound, Thompson Seattle embodies the beauty of the Emerald City in the heart of downtown. A short walk gets you to Pike Place Market and the Space Needle, or opt for an off-the-beaten-path gem like the 1920s-inspired Temperance Cafe and Bar on the 35th floor observation deck of Smith Tower. Our 150 rooms, suites and residences ensure you live like a local in modern style, while our restaurant and rooftop cocktail lounge bring the best of the city and waterfront within sight.

Hovering above the urban hustle of Pike Place Market and Seattle’s downtown, The Nest — Thompson Seattle’s iconic rooftop bar, cocktail lounge, and terrace — showcases views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountain Range beyond. The Nest specializes in handcrafted cocktails, wine, and small snacks featuring seasonal produce highlighting the Pacific Northwest. And while the plush bar buzzes with activity, cozy corners hidden amid lush greenery beckon those seeking a more intimate experience.

The Seasonal Host role will be the face of the restaurant as guests enter the hotel and space to be seated. Hosts are responsible for welcoming and creating the first impression for guests. These individuals have the ability to influence the overall restaurant experience by their interactions that include providing table accommodations, reservation or waitlist options and menu recommendations. Hosts may be the final point of contact and have the ability to ensure guest satisfaction. This is a role of professionalism and the highest level hospitality and outgoing personality. Smiles are a given and anticipating the guests needs are a standard. If you love being in an upscale or luxury environment, this is for you!
