This role handles Hotel Rooms group business exclusively; meeting space, dining experiences, and event bookings are managed by the PW Special Events team and are outside the scope of this position. This role requires exceptional attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple group accounts and deadlines simultaneously.
