When choosing a place to stay, guests undoubtedly pay attention to its appearance, the architecture of the building, the amenities, and often the increasingly sophisticated location. However, hospitality is not about buildings, equipment, or conveniences—it’s primarily about people and their interactions. It’s the receptionists—Kasia, Ania, Karolina, and Michał—who greet the guests with a smile and invite them to check in. They listen to the stories of the guests' journeys, like what caused them to arrive three hours late. These are the receptionists who, with immense patience, explain three times when the restaurant is open and how to find the room because, after a long journey, tired guests sometimes ask the same questions twice, even though we’ve just finished explaining.

"I felt at home here – everyone is so kind and helpful!" "The atmosphere in this hotel is simply magical. Every detail is perfected, I feel special here." "This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The team creates an amazing atmosphere – full professionalism and warmth." "I’ve never been in an airport hotel with service like yours."
[...]
These words from our guests did not surprise me, of course, because they reflect how our guests rate us in surveys. For example, on Booking.com, we have a rating of 9.1, and the average annual internal Stay Score of our hotel is around 94.5%—I think this is quite an achievement for a 10-year-old airport hotel. What did I feel listening to all these kind words? I was filled with pride and gratitude for being part of this team. It is in such moments that I remind myself why I work in the hospitality industry.

I visited them recently, 3.5 years after the training.
It was a fantastic time. Why?

In the evening, after an intense day, I sat down at a table in the restaurant and had a wonderful evening with Michał.
We talked about life, man to man, and sampled the specialties prepared by Ilona.
What a joy it is to see Ilona spreading her wings and now having her own signature menu.
I enjoyed a delicious shrimp appetizer and potato pancakes with steak and an amazing mushroom sauce. The wine for this dinner was selected by Artur, the Shift Manager of the Bar at the L'atmosphère restaurant located in the hotel.
And now, listen carefully. This is not a promotional post. So why am I writing it? Because they are real. Because they are genuine. Because we know them by name.
Each of them has become a "touchpoint" with the company.

But not through polished corporate praises, rather through the lens of their expertise and work. Not through pre-made posts, but words straight from the heart [...]
