More than any other meal — breakfast is about feelings.
It’s not just about what’s on your plate.
It’s about how you feel the moment you sit down.
Safe. Welcomed. Cared for.

Once again, it’s been such a joy to create this little reel for you. Honestly, I’m always a bit shocked when people measure hotel quality by the size of the buffet alone (#foodwaste #fastfood — not really my thing).

Maybe this inspired you to create a beautiful breakfast for someone you love at home.
Because yes — breakfast is pure love.
It’s about feelings. And details.

In today’s Stories, I’m showing the hotel that captured this spirit best:
Le Meurice, Paris.

Where have you had your most memorable breakfast — and why?

Now I have to head downstairs… the smell of freshly ground coffee is calling.
Wishing you a gentle and delicious start into the day.

I had so much fun putting this post together — truly!
And yet, I can already hear the voices in the background 😅
“Hospitality? No way. Long hours. No appreciation. Poor pay…”

Yes, I hear you. And yet…

This can still be one of the most rewarding, vibrant and joy-filled careers —
If you know your craft.
If you love creating joy for others.
If you understand: We are service people — now more than ever.

And guess what?
Guests notice.
More and more are grateful when they meet someone who cares — in any industry. Sure – you have to be tough to get paid fairly and correctly – and also – VERY CLEAR & reliable in your communicaition – 365 day a year (including „les jours fériés“).

And honestly?
There’s no other job that comes with this kind of VIP status + smile mileage —
all around the world 🌍😉Not everyone needs more school after graduating. Some of us just need life. And in hospitality, that life starts on day one. You learn, earn, grow — and truly show up as yourself. It’s a energy loaded time – and useful for every next step you might consider for your career.

I started with training too. Then I went to management school.
Wouldn’t change a thing.

A is for Arrival.
Not just in a hotel – but in a feeling.

The scent of jasmine.
Cool marble beneath your steps.
A soft “Welcome” that quiets the noise of the world.
Because in true hôtellerie, elegance begins the moment you enter.

This is the beginning of my new series:
The ABC of Hôtellerie – Slow Moments, Grand Feelings.
And it starts here: with presence, softness, arrival.
How do you want to arrive – in a space, in a day, in your life?
Tell me below. ✨

PS: But what if A also stood for something else? A for Apprenticeship. Ausbildung. A fresh start. A path into the world of hotels, design, or hospitality – for anyone dreaming of a new beginning. Interested ?
Whether you’re job hunting, career-switching, or just curious about a life in style – tell me below what you are interested in.
