Front desk internships

Front desk is an important part of the hotel team, responsible for ensuring that guests have a smooth check-in and check-out process, providing them with information about the hotel and its amenities, and addressing any concerns or requests they may have during their stay. You'll also have the chance to develop your leadership skills by learning how to manage the department from a supervisory perspective.

Food and beverage internships

As a member of the food and beverage team, you'll experience the fast-paced environment of bars and restaurants, and rotate through various departments. This will give you a wide range of experience and a taste of what it's like to work in different settings, honing your skills in customer service and operational efficiency.

Gastronomy and culinary internships

Gastronomy and culinary is an exciting division to work in for aspiring chefs and culinary enthusiasts. You'll gain hands-on experience in preparing and cooking dishes, and learn about the operational side of running a kitchen. By the end of your internship, you'll have a solid understanding of what it takes to operate a high-volume, high-quality kitchen, and the skills to succeed in a dynamic culinary environment.
