At DeSignature Tower Hotel and Suites, we recently had the pleasure of hosting students from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, specifically from the Department of Hospitality and Tourism. The students embarked on an exciting excursion to gain firsthand insights into the dynamic world of hospitality.
An Immersive Tour: Our journey with the students began with a comprehensive tour of our facilities, showcasing the intricate workings of a bustling hotel. From the welcoming reception to the serene poolside, the well-stocked store to the bustling laundry, the heart of the kitchen to the elegant restaurant, every department played a pivotal role in crafting the perfect guest experience.
Understanding the Harmony: We delved into the seamless communication between departments, emphasizing the importance of both front office and back office operations. The students gained valuable insights into how the various elements harmoniously contribute to the overall functioning of a hospitality establishment.
Room Categories Unveiled: As we strolled through different categories of rooms, the students were introduced to the nuances that distinguish each one. Explaining which rooms were more luxurious and why, we provided a deeper understanding of the criteria that elevate a hotel to 2-star, 3-star, or 4-star status.
Inquisitive Minds The students, eager to learn, asked insightful questions, particularly about the intricacies of cutlery. We elucidated how these seemingly small details contribute to the overall guest experience, making every piece a crucial element in the art of hospitality.
A Culinary Symphony: Stepping into the restaurant, the students witnessed the careful arrangement of tables, each setting tailored for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and more. We demystified the ambiance, explaining how the setting itself contributes to the overall dining experience.
A Day Well Spent: As the excursion came to an end, we were thrilled to see the students leave with a broader perspective of the hospitality industry. Our goal was not only to showcase the various facets of our hotel but to inspire and ignite a passion for the art of hospitality in the minds of these future industry leaders.
At DeSignature Tower Hotel and Suites, we believe in nurturing the next generation of hospitality professionals, and we look forward to hosting more educational journeys that foster a deeper appreciation for the magic that happens behind the scenes in the world of hospitality.
