On 30 November 2018, we took part in a professional excursion in the hotel Mercure within the scope of subject basics from hotelier area in Bratislava. The hotel is located in the city center and falls under the Accor hotel network. The hotel was accompanied by a deputy director, Mr. Štefan Gálik.

Through this excursion, we were able as students to look into the operation of this luxury hotel. We were able to find ourselves in two conference rooms, where we got basic information about hotel. Further, the steps of our tour were taken through the lobby bar, the restaurant and some part of the kitchen. Tour of living part of the hotel started on the sixth floor. We could notice the difference between the standard room and the apartment. Design of the rooms is very nice, even with the use of pop-art elements of art. An interesting surprise for us was room from the project “My room”, which was furnished in an original comic style. Our excursion ended again in the conference room, where we had a small snack, which was very nice and attentive from the management of the hotel.

During the tour we learned a lot of new knowledge and information from the hotelier area, which we can draw on in the future. Besides that, we have visited and seen places, where „ordinary” man can’t normally enter. Thank you.
