Sommelier

The St. Regis Rome is casting for a Sommelier. Reporting to the F&B Service & In Room Dining Manager, the Sommelier will be part of a team of high-level professionals with a strong passion for F&B. About us

Introduced to Roman society in 1864, the architecturally iconic St. Regis Rome is located in one of the city's most impressive palazzos. The pioneer St. Regis in Europe and a social beacon for Romans and international travelers, the hotel has emerged to define a new era of luminosity: a contemporary take on a historic address, St. Regis Rome has shed its former bearing and stepped out, into the limelight to truly own Rome. Radiant and luminous, it combines fearless elegance, disruptive artistry and discerning enlightenment, with proudness to host each guest providing the best service to make everyday exquisite.
