Product details:
The Hotel Finishing School is the latest course from specialist training provider Luxury Academy and is aimed at front-of-house staff working at independently-owned four and five star hotels. The half-day course, which describes itself as 'a cross between the Swiss finishing school of the 19th century and a charm school', covers topics such as grooming and personal presentation and use of small talk and language when interacting with guests and is designed to enhance service and elevate standards.

He decided to design courses that could help independent hotels train staff in a range of areas and is already a training partner to the ten out of ten management development programme.

Russell said: “The luxury hotel market is going through an exciting metamorphosis, which presents thrilling challenges for those of us working within it. At its heart, the consumer is rapidly evolving and today’s guest has emerged with a clear view of what they expect from service providers positioned in this market.
