About the Role

Step inside and the city falls away. You enter a house of rooms unlike any other; part gallery, part salon, part bar. Heritage is the fabric of every space: from the long communal table in the main hall to intimate chambers that echo the mansion’s layered past. Each room tells its own story of tea and textiles, journeys and remedies, yet together they weave one society. Behind this house of spirits, seasonal ingredients meet global traditions, crafted into vessels by skilled ceramicists. Guests move from chamber to chamber, discovering shifting moods of conversation, music, and ritual. This is a place to drink well, but also to belong – where every visit feels connected to the past yet alive in the present, evolving with each season and collaboration.

Every gathering is a weave of moments, places, and people.

The Guest Relations Executive (Bar) serves as the first point of contact, setting the tone for a refined and memorable guest experience. This role is responsible for managing reservations through the TableCheck system, ensuring seamless coordination of bookings while optimizing seating and guest flow.

Beyond reservations, the Guest Relations Executive acts as a storyteller and guide – welcoming guests and introducing them to the different spaces within the House of Tan Yeok Nee, enriching their visit with context and a sense of place. Guests are personally escorted to the welcome area of Loca Niru, ensuring a smooth and thoughtful transition into their experience.

This role also oversees all enquiries and reservations for the Bar’s private room, delivering tailored solutions and attentive service to meet guest needs.

Ultimately, this position embodies the brand’s commitment to exceptional service – where every guest interaction is intentional, seamless, and memorable.
