As part of our ongoing series, we explore the experiences of professionals in the hospitality and nightlife industry. Today, we speak with Ana, a seasoned hostess, about the nuances of her role and the importance of elegance, communication, and professionalism.

Ana: During my university years, I wanted a job that allowed me to be independent while maintaining a sophisticated and social lifestyle. Hosting provided the perfect balance—working in an elegant setting, meeting interesting people, and earning excellent tips.

Ana: It’s everything. A hostess should always be polished, sophisticated, and carry herself with confidence. A beautiful dress, well-groomed appearance, and refined manners make a lasting impression. People respond to elegance, and it enhances the overall atmosphere of the venue.

Ana: Absolutely essential. English is the common language in upscale venues, and being able to hold a conversation fluently makes a huge difference. It helps build a connection with guests and creates a welcoming experience for everyone. The more languages you know, the more opportunities you have.

Ana: Charm, confidence, and communication. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about making guests feel at ease. Many of my colleagues are students who naturally bring grace and intelligence to the role. A warm smile and engaging conversation go a long way.

Ana: Always choose a reputable agency that works with high-end venues. Renowned clubs have strict professional standards, and working in the right environment makes all the difference. I strongly recommend taking practical training if offered—it teaches you how to handle different situations, improves confidence, and helps develop essential sales skills. But most importantly, never force anything. When guests feel comfortable, everything else flows naturally.
