Abu Dhabi National Hotels

So, you thinking about working in hotels? Abu Dhabi National Hotels (let’s just call it ADNH, because who has time for long names?) is kind of a big deal in the UAE’s hospitality game. If you’re anywhere between “total newbie” and “seasoned pro who could run a hotel blindfolded,” there’s probably something with your name on it. They’re always on the lookout for people who know how to treat guests right—or at least try not to scare them off.

The job list?

It’s not just “be a manager and yell at people.” From cleaning, front desk, security, and all the way up to running the show, ADNH’s got options. Seriously, whether you’re into folding towels with military precision or you’ve got that smooth-talking receptionist thing down, they need folks at every level.

A Little Backstory (Because History Matters)

Way back in 1976—yeah, bell bottoms and disco, wild times—ADNH started with just a handful of hotels. Fast forward, and now they’re running a whole empire: hotels, resorts, restaurants, you name it. They’re not just about putting heads in beds; they’re into catering and even getting guests from A to B. Basically, they keep the UAE’s tourism machine running smooth.

They’re big on making guests happy

Which, let’s be honest, is the whole point of hotels. And they want to be the top dog in the Middle East—not exactly aiming low.

What’s It Like Working There?

ADNH likes to talk up their “respect and teamwork” vibes. Translation: no one’s out here throwing plates or flipping out Gordon Ramsay-style (usually). They pay well, dish out decent benefits, and seem to actually care if you want to get better at your job. If you’re looking for a company that doesn’t treat you like a human robot, not a bad place to land.

Open Positions: What’s On Offer?

Jobs up for grabs run the whole hospitality spectrum. Housekeeping, front desk, food and bev, security—you get the idea. They want folks who show up, work hard, and don’t treat guests like background noise. If you’re the motivated type (or at least good at pretending), you’ll fit right in.

Perks and Pay—Show Me the Money

Let’s skip to the good part. The benefits aren’t just corporate mumbo-jumbo. We’re talking full-on health coverage, fat paychecks (for the right roles, anyway), programs to make you less stressed, and good vibes in the office. You get retirement savings, enough vacation days to actually travel, and performance bonuses if you crush it.

Money-wise

Newbies can expect around AED 3,100-4,950 a month. If you’ve been around the block, it jumps to AED 7,300-11,600. Bosses, or people pretending to be bosses, start at AED 20,400. Not too shabby for the region.

Who Can Apply?

Here’s the deal: they’re not just hiring anyone off the street. You’ll need:
– Some kind of education that makes sense for the job.
– Experience in hotels or tourism (unless you’re applying for entry-level stuff).
– The ability to actually talk to people without making it awkward.
– A thing for customer service.
– Teamwork skills, because nobody likes a diva.
– Flexible hours don’t freak you out.
– Oh, and a legit UAE work permit. No shortcuts.

How Do You Get In?

If you wanna give it a shot, it’s all pretty straightforward. Go to their careers page (hit that “Apply now” button), poke around for jobs you actually want, and pop in your info. Upload your resume—make it look shiny. Then send it off and cross your fingers.
