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.”

Now at the Hotel d’Angleterre for over five years, Isabelle’s 20 years of experience in the Luxury Hotel industry have made a massive contribution to the success of the hotel.

Every day brings a new challenge, every day is unique: that’s why the hotel business is a fascinating, passion-driven world”.
