Becoming a Hotel Manager in Dubai

by Silas Reed     
The job of a Dubai hotel manager incorporates looking after the overall operation and management of any of the following properties:

  • Hotels
  • Motels
  • Inns
  • Resorts
Dubai is the place for all kinds of entertainment related aspects with areas such as Burj Dubai and the Palm Islands making it to the top of the charts of the world in terms of hospitality. In fact, as a professional in the field of Dubai hotel management, you will need to take care of the guests and make sure of the fact that they receive first rate treatment and this will ensure that they come back to the establishment again.

The job of Dubai hotel managers takes into account managing the finances as well as seeing to it that the business earns a profit, although not at the cost of the services provided. The task of a Dubai hotel manager is to create a reputation for excellence for attracting new guests with the help of quality ratings in the industry as well as modes of referrals. Some of the key tasks that are taken up by the hotel managers in Dubai are the following operations:
  • Reservations
  • Food and beverage services
  • Conventions
  • Housekeeping
If it happens to be a small hotel, the task of the Dubai hotel management staff is to make important decisions on a daily basis as well as look after other areas of the administration. If the Dubai hotel managers are employed in a larger organization, the general manager looks after hiring managers and gives them charge of individual departments.

The academic qualifications of Dubai hotel managers include a bachelor's degree in the field of hotel management. Sometimes, having an MBA qualification also helps you out. Restaurant management is also an important area where you can qualify. This is something that ensures that you can substantially contribute to the profits of the hotel with food services having a good contribution in this regard. If you are a successful hotel manager, you can see your career advance fast.

The key skills of the Dubai hotel management staff incorporate excellent inter personal communication as well as organizational tactics. You must be able to interpret the financial requirements of the establishment as a Dubai hotel manager and receive information from hotel controllers from the accounting department. An understanding of the following is also required:
  • Credit policies
  • Banking methods
  • Financial statements
Make the best use of the work study programs that are offered by a lot of hospitality colleges in Dubai for ensuring that you have a good experience in working in hotels as a Dubai hotel manager. Once you are hired, go through the training program of the hotel, although in the initial years you will be required to handle mundane jobs more than staffing, providing inputs on conventions, and hotel décor.

You can gain experience in Dubai hotel management jobs in the following categories:
  • Front office manager
  • F&B manager
  • Convention services manager
With a promotion, you can expect to relocate for a few years in case you are working in a hotel chain as a Dubai hotel manager which has properties throughout the country.

Career prospects of Dubai hotel managers are good with the entertainment and hospitality markets in the city expanding at a rapid rate. In fact, Dubai has now become the hub of the glitterati and Dubai hotel management is all about catering to the needs of visitors, celebrities, and tourists.

The salaries of the Dubai hotel managers per year are $35,000. The general managers of larger establishments in Dubai can make over $75,000 a year, with bonuses that are 25% of the base salary. Free meals and lodging are a part of the job. This is coupled with paid vacations, health insurances, and continued education.

Dubai hotel managers cater to the needs of the visitors in the best way possible. This is a job that takes into account longer hours such as night and weekend hours as well as the occasional unhappy guest. The Dubai hotel manager also works in extremely neat surroundings, managing which can sometimes be demanding and stressing. Regular work schedules are there, but then the Dubai hotel management jobs can get you to be on call 24 hours a day. Thus, the job can be both relaxing and taxing.
