About ASH
ASH Hotels designs, develops, owns and operates a very special collection of properties. In our world, a
hotel is much more than a destination to meet, dine, or sleep. Rather, it is a dynamic site of imagery and
emotions, interactions and sensations manifesting within the walls of a beautifully restored local legend -
a living movie set. An ASH hotel is a connection to the past and a beacon for the future, layered in nuanced
storytelling that invites exploration time and again.
ASH Hotels, in partnership with local developer Nathalie Jordi, acquired a historic development site
nestled in New Orleans’ Marigny neighborhood. Hotel Peter and Paul consists of an existing church, rectory,
convent, and school buildings steeped in more than a century of local, preservationist heritage.
Our hotel offers classic, elegant experiences that defy formulaic guest expectations by
entwining enduring church and schoolhouse architecture with eclectic interiors and reimagined
environments. Characterized by an unexpected contemporary Louisianan spirit, Peter and Paul enchants
all guests with an authentic union of yesteryear’s Marigny with today’s New Orleans
role
About the role
We are seeking a Bellman to be one of the first and last faces guests see at our hotel. In this role, you are
responsible for greeting arrivals, handling luggage with care, orienting guests to their rooms and the
property, and helping with everything from a rideshare pickup to a last-minute recommendation for where
to catch the sunset.
The ideal Bellman is warm, quick on their feet, and genuinely enjoys the rhythm of arrivals and
departures. They read guests well, knowing when someone wants a friendly chat about the boardwalk
and when they just want to get settled, and they carry both bags and the guest experience with equal
care. Knowledgeable about the neighborhood, organized under pressure, and reliably professional, they
set the tone for a guest's stay from the curb to the room and back again.
