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.
