Job Description Summary
At The Preston, you are not just working behind a bar. You are part of a storied, iconic destination inside the historic Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza in the heart of the Central West End.
The Preston blends modern sophistication with the legacy of one of St. Louis’ most celebrated hotels. From curated cocktails to an elevated dining experience, this is a space where locals gather, travelers unwind, and memorable moments happen daily.
If you take pride in your craft, enjoy connecting with people, and want to be part of a team that values personality as much as precision, this is a role where you can stand out.
