Two days of feeling like a guest and getting to know the entire hotel. That was what the new young talents had to do on the first two days of their training. On 01.08.2022 the time had come. A new journey began for the seven apprentices at the Hotel Hafen Hamburg and our sister hotel, the Empire Riverside Hotel. The first meeting took place in one of our conference rooms. Here they received important information about their training and got to know the first departments. In between, the banquet team provided snacks and drinks. For lunch, the apprentices ate at the Empire Riverside Hotel's waterkant restaurant. After a complete house tour through the Hotel Hafen Hamburg, they went to the Port Restaurant for a delicious 3-course menu. A curry-corn soup was served as a starter, with a choice of meat, fish or a vegetarian dish as the main course. Dessert was homemade yoghurt ice cream with a piece of cake and red fruit jelly. After dinner, it was time for everyone to "check in!" Because the apprentices were allowed to sleep in the hotels for one night.
The next morning, everyone had breakfast together in the restaurant before the programme continued. The rest of the departments introduced themselves to them and explained their tasks and areas. After the apprentices had lunch at the waterkant restaurant, they had a tour of the Empire Riverside Hotel and a safety briefing.
Everyone enjoyed the orientation days very much and the apprentices had the opportunity to gain their first impressions of the company, everyday hotel life and the staff.
