MAYA MANCHESTER HOST/HOSTESS
A STYLISH AND LIVELY COMBINATION OF RESTAURANT AND BAR ON
THE CORNER OF CHORLTON STREET AND CANAL STREET.
Situated within an iconic location of Manchester’s nightlife
history and split across three floors, Maya will house numerous areas, each
with its own vibe, to take guests from day to night. From a canal-side bistro
space serving modern-European classics to a lower ground-floor, elegantly
designed dining room that will centre around an ingredient-led, locally sourced
and seasonal menu.
Maya will take the ground and lower floors of 40 Chorlton
Street and shares part of the same landmark early 20th-century warehouse
building occupied by the new neighbourhood hotel, Leven. Maya's interior
backdrop will merge the original industrial nature of the space with inspired
details of art deco grandeur and disco-era pop-culture references in beautiful
and surprising ways.
As a Host/Hostess, you will be the first point of
contact for our guests, representing Maya with a warm, welcoming presence. You
will support both the reception and floor teams, ensuring smooth communication
and an outstanding guest experience from arrival to departure.
