At InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest, we believe that hospitality is more than service—it's about passion, dedication, and creating memorable experiences. Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming a group of high school students eager to explore the world of luxury hospitality. Our department managers shared valuable insights about their roles, daily challenges, and the rewarding experiences that come with working in a landmark hotel. This initiative was even more special as it was organized by Ariana Horpos, a former trainee in our Front Office, Food & Beverage, and Commercial departments. Seeing Ariana take the lead in inspiring future hospitality professionals is a proud moment for us—it reflects the impact of mentorship and hands-on experience. To the students who joined us: we hope this glimpse into the world of hospitality sparked your curiosity and passion. And to Ariana: thank you for bringing this event to life and continuing to champion the industry!

The Women Who Make Hospitality Exceptional | Happy Women’s Day! What does it mean to be a woman in 2025, working in 5-star hospitality? We asked the talented women of InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest, including Mihaela Petrache, our Director of Human Resources, and their answers reflected the heart of this industry. And when we asked, “What makes you smile about your work?” the most common words were: ✨ Team. Colleagues. Legacy. ✨ Because hospitality is about people—those we welcome and those we work alongside every day. Today, we celebrate the dedication, passion, and strength of the women in our industry and beyond.
