Hey, Gecko Hospitality California fam! 🌟 #FantasticFriday is back, and this week, it's all about the heartbeat of heritage #hotels—yes, the people who make them extraordinary. We're talkin' #HeritageHotelFriday! First up? THE US GRANT, San Diego. 🔍 Why We're Inspired: A century-old hotel doesn't just run itself. It takes a team brimming with passion for service and a deep respect for history. Think property managers who are also keepers of the past and sommeliers who know the stories behind the bottles. 👩🍳 The Talent Behind the Charm: You're not just greeted by a concierge but by a local historian. The chefs? They're reviving century-old recipes with a modern twist. And let's not forget the housekeeping team; they're the unsung heroes maintaining that vintage elegance. 👨🎨 Cultural Stewards: The US Grant Hotel team doesn't just manage a space; they curate an experience. From art pieces to cocktail menus, they're all about that blend of old-school charm and new-school excellence. 💡 Did You Know? Talent recruitment for heritage hotels often involves additional training in the hotel's history. We're talking deep dives into the essence of the place. So, tell us—what do you think makes a heritage hotel team stand out? Is it their respect for tradition, commitment to excellence, or something else? Sound off below! Until next #FantasticFriday, keep aiming for the extraordinary, folks! #fantasticfriday #heritagehotelfriday #geckohospitalitycalifornia #usgranthotel #sandiego #notsponsored
