What I especially learned by working with different diplomats is; treat every guest equally and with respect. Especially if you work with a lot of diplomats you get to know what you expect and what they want.

"I have had the opportunity to work during several diplomatic events ever since I started working in the Promenade Hotel. According to my observations, diplomats value precision, punctuality and some ‘’sweet and short’’ conversation. I definitely had to push myself into rethinking and optimizing my time managing skills. Multitasking and flexibility turned out to be my most trusted aids." Gabor Balint.
Fabio Gorel, employee fo the year 2021. I guess my first impression was quite different from most employees here. My mother has been working at the hotel’s front desk for the past 34 years, so when I was younger, she would occasionally take me with her. I remember celebrating Sinterklaas (Saint Nicolas) when I was about 6 years old.
