Learning from Hospitality Professionals at the Fairmont Montreux Palace

Banqueting and events are an important part second year studies at Swiss Hotel Management School and what better way to learn than from professionals working in the hospitality industry! Anne-Christine Fiechter, second year student at Swiss Hotel Management School, recently spent time at the Montreux Palace and reports on her experience.

"Mr Fouque, Assistant F&B Director, showed us around in the hotel, explaining the planning and organizing process of events held at the hotel. Later we had the opportunity to observe an actual event and I was especially interested in the collaboration between the service and kitchen team, as well as in the service itself.

It was a great experience because by observing professionals we got a lot of good ideas for our own banquet and realized the issues we could encounter and observed ways to overcome them.

I am very glad we had this amazing opportunity and I think it is great that our hotel school is establishing a closer relationship with the industry. It was very helpful for us regarding our own upcoming event."
