At Paramount, we are obsessed in delivering outstanding service through

a personal touch. As a Front Desk Agent, you must be part of ensuring that the

Front Office department is run smoothly ensuring that there is a relentless

desire to wow our customers at every opportunity, ensuring that customers’

needs are exceeded.

WHO ARE WE

Generator is on a

journey. Appropriate, given that we're a shared accommodation lifestyle brand.

The journey began in London, swung through a heap of European capitals on its

way to dominating the world. Generator burst onto the scene in the Americas with

the launch of Generator Miami and Washington DC and most recently took aim at

the country’s biggest markets (NYC, LA, Miami and Chicago) with the acquisition

of Freehand Hotels.

No biggie. Fast Company named us one of the top 50 most innovative global companies.

We, of course, agree.

Our spaces are safe and

seriously social, in the proudest part of the beating heart of the cities we

love. Cultural action, creative pulse and an outstanding way to waste some of

Holds true for staff and visitors equally, and while chic design is always the

backdrop, every Generator in every destination reflects the unique beat of that

city's heart.

BEING YOURSELF is the key to bringing the Generator story

and brand to life.

ABOUT PARAMOUNT

HOTEL NEW YORK

Paramount Hotel is a New York City landmark located

two-story lobby, reflective fireplace, dramatic lighting, and rich textures, it

sets the stage for a hip, indulgent experience. Recently updated but retaining

its historical charm, the Paramount Hotel is standing out as the only hotel

near Broadway NYC with genuine personality.

with us on our Generator journey. While
