WHO WE ARE
Surety Hotel is managed by Aparium Hotel Group which was founded in 2011. Since its founding, Aparium has grown into a new kind of hotel brand, one that ventures off the beaten path, both geographically and philosophically. It is a sophisticated hotel brand known for its singular ability to combine the business acumen of large hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels, bringing the disparate forces together in bustling, smaller markets.
WHO YOU ARE
If there was a test assessing someone's attention to detail, you would score at a genius level. You've embraced your perfectionist side, so it is quite natural for you to walk into a hotel and want to fluff every pillow you see, judge the level of cleanliness, or peek in closets to see how they organize their linen and cleaning supplies. You know hospital corners aren't just for hospitals, and the perfect crease on a bedsheet makes you smile. It doesn't matter where you are, you can't help yourself from refolding the bathroom towels. You understand that housekeeping appreciation is every day, and not just a week in September.
You thrive on the excitement that comes from turning a room during the 3pm check-in rush. You can't walk a hallway without picking up loose items, and your pockets are always full when you get home from work. Of course, you always have a microfiber rag at the ready, but you cannot go anywhere without your favorite multi-tool, because who has five minutes to wait for an engineer?
THE ROLE
It is critical the person in this position is tactical and strategic; if you only prefer to "see the forest" and not "plant the trees," then this is not a role for you. All leaders of Aparium are required to get down and dirty to unearth existing needs and personally ensure what needs to be fixed is repaired.
