For Jean-Vital, being a manager in the hospitality industry is one of life’s most rewarding occupations, because no day is like any other. “Every stay – from the time of booking, spending a night in one of our unique rooms, sharing a drink in our bar with friends and enjoying the delights of our restaurant, to the moment of departure – is different, and involves so many members of his staff. It’s like a huge puzzle bringing a wonderful hotel picture to life! Together as a team, we are proud to use all our skills and experience to anticipate and satisfy our guests’ needs. Their satisfaction is our satisfaction.”

The hotel management business is a real passion for me as it is a dynamic activity, always "on the move", which enables one to have a never ending creativity. Therefore, I have decided to enter the Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne in 2004. Furthermore, having had various experiences in the luxury hotel in business in Las Vegas, London and Berlin, I am convinced that I, together with the whole team, will be able to turn your event into an unforgettable experience thanks to an intuitive and personalized service, always attentive to your requests.
