Company Description
Overlooking Maine’s largest glacier lake, Blair Hill Inn’s stunning ten-guest room country estate sits commandingly atop a 20′ high, 900′ long field stone wall. Its hillside perch provides one of the most beautiful, expansive lake views in the world. This destination resort sprawls across 40 acres with scenic overlooks, a trout pond, fields and woodlands. Once a breeding farm built in 1891, it is now a finely restored boutique hotel with exquisite décor and exceptional service.
The renowned, gourmet restaurant serves a tasty farm-to-table menu and the handsome wood-paneled cocktail lounge offers fine wines, libations, and small bites. The warm welcome, individual service, absolute discretion and love of detail are evidenced by being the only Relais & Châteaux designated hotels and restaurants in Maine.
We are proud to be one of the 580 members of Relais & Châteaux, an association of worldwide independent hotel and restaurant owners.
Job Description
Blair Hill Inn is seeking an Assistant Innkeeper to join our close-knit team for the 2026 season. This is a hands-on role that is perfect for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in a job well done, and thrives in an environment where no two days are the same.
As the only Relais & Châteaux property in Maine, Blair Hill Inn is recognized among the world's finest independently owned hotels and restaurants. Every stay is built around thoughtful, personalized service, exceptional cuisine, and an authentic sense of place. We are looking for someone who shares our passion for hospitality and wants to help create unforgettable experiences for every guest.
What You'll Do
Your mornings will begin helping deliver an exceptional breakfast experience before transitioning into coordinating guest departures and preparing the inn for new arrivals. Throughout the day, you'll work alongside our housekeeping and hospitality teams to ensure every guest room and every interaction reflects the standards our guests have come to expect.
Responsibilities include:
Providing warm, personalized service during breakfast.
Welcoming guests and assisting with departures and arrivals.
Coordinating daily housekeeping priorities and inspecting guest rooms.
Ensuring rooms are beautifully prepared for each check-in.
Maintaining the appearance of guest spaces throughout the property.
Anticipating guest needs and helping resolve requests with professionalism and care.
Supporting teammates wherever needed to create a seamless guest experience.
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys taking care of people and finds satisfaction in creating exceptional experiences through thoughtful service and attention to detail.
You should have:
A naturally warm, friendly, and welcoming personality.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
The ability to multitask and stay calm during busy mornings.
A positive attitude and willingness to jump in wherever help is needed.
The ability to work mornings, weekends, and holidays during the season.
Hospitality, restaurant, hotel, or customer service experience is preferred, but we value attitude, work ethic, and a willingness to learn just as much.
Why Blair Hill Inn?
Working at Blair Hill Inn is about more than a job—it's an opportunity to become part of a team that genuinely cares about one another and takes pride in creating extraordinary guest experiences.
You'll enjoy:
Working at Maine's only Relais & Châteaux property.
A supportive, collaborative, and respectful team environment.
Opportunities to learn every aspect of luxury innkeeping.
The chance to make a meaningful impact on each guest's stay.
A beautiful workplace overlooking Moosehead Lake.
This position is available immediately for the current season.
As Blair Hill Inn continues to grow, we anticipate expanding into additional year-round operations and are looking for team members who are excited about growing with us. While this role begins as a seasonal position, there is strong potential for it to become a year-round opportunity for the right person.
If you believe hospitality is about making people feel genuinely welcome and cared for—and you're excited to be part of a team committed to excellence—we'd love to hear from you.
