How did you feel about going to the Times Square EDITION Hotel?
It was a great experience being in the place and perceiving things from a professional perspective. We had an opportunity to take a quick look at all different departments as the front of the house and back of the house from the tour of the EDITION Times Square hotel. As we entered the hotel, the odor from the signature scent made me feel great. At first glance from the lobby, I couldn’t stop gazing on those beautiful and natural decorative staircases. All the staff members we encountered were very friendly and welcoming. Each suite is cozy, soundproof and attaches to a terrace which I thought was nice, relax, and cool. Indeed, the fine dining restaurant with the bar was the best part of the hotel that amazed me from a different angle. The interior design is incredible that catches people’s eyes quickly. I didn’t feel like I was actually in the restaurant. That place was just more than dining. The way they have decorated, designed and structured the ceiling, floor, and walls with lights and plants was very elegant and amazing. They have their own standard procedure to display all the furniture settings. Another piece of information that I gained was that they have created an eco-friendly environment by consuming a plant-based product. Also, they carry around 500 different wines to pair up with varieties of food which I think was a very important part when considering the food and beverage department in this industry.
What was the most significant information you learned while at the Times Square Edition?
The most significant information I learned during this hotel tour was the piece of information being shared by the professional staff. As they said, knowing different skills, having good communication and connections within an organization are extremely important to work in the hotel industry. In addition, another important information I learned from this tour was having a general idea of the physical and organizational structures of this industry.
