What are the responsibilities and job description for the Hotel Inspector (Asia) position at Tablet Hotels - The Hotel Experts at MICHELIN?
The MICHELIN Guide and Tablet Hotels are two brands within the Michelin Lifestyle ecosystem that comprise our hotel booking business. We’re all about discovering the world's most extraordinary hotels — places where you'll find a memorable experience, not just a room for the night. We’ve scoured the earth, evaluating hotels that meet our high standards across every price point, creating a hand-picked selection that’s proven and inspired.
Our mission is to open doors to places people will love that they might not have found on their own, extraordinary places that reflect the beauty and diversity of the world. Our team believes that travel brings people of all backgrounds together. Our hotels provide an unforgettable backdrop for that union.
Headquartered in New York City and Paris, we operate in eight languages and now recommend over 6,000 incredible hotels located in over a hundred different countries. And if you really want to take it to the next level, our Tablet Plus Travel Club provides VIP upgrades and amenities at hundreds of our properties.
