Assistant Front Office Manager

About The Colonnade Hotel The Colonnade has provided thoughtful hospitality to Boston visitors and residents for nearly 50 years. A dynamic Back Bay landmark whose opening launched the neighborhood’s renaissance in the early seventies, The Colonnade is home to the city’s only outdoor Roof Top Pool. The property boasts 285 sophisticated guest rooms, including nine luxury suites. Still, it remains one of the city’s few family-owned, independent hotels. Ideally located, The Colonnade is in close proximity to Newbury Street, The Shops at Prudential Center, Hynes Convention Center, Museum of Fine Arts, Northeastern University and many of Boston’s finest museums, galleries, and iconic sites including Symphony Hall and Fenway Park. The Colonnade Hotel is a member of Preferred Hotel’s LIFESTYLE Collection.
