Did you know the Ritz-Carlton South Beach employs a “tanning butler” who walks the grounds during peak tanning hours applying sunscreen to guests’ nooks and crannies as requested? Well, they need a new one:
“The Ritz is hiring a new tanning butler! “We’re looking to fill the position immediately with someone who’s outgoing, positive, energetic and recognizes the role as a brand ambassador,” said Payer.
