Description

Welcoming is an art, but selling it is a strategy!

With over 25 years of experience in major groups (Hilton, Marriott, Starwood) and luxury establishments (Maison Albar Hotels), I am intimately familiar with the challenges of our industry.

My vision of hospitality was forged long before my career, growing up in the heart of a guesthouse. There I learned that true value lies in people. Yet, operational reality often distances your teams from this essential aspect.

With Solymar Services, I bring this dual expertise, the passion for hospitality and the rigor of major groups, to your direct service. My objective is clear: to take charge of your commercial development and e-reputation with tailor-made actions, to allow your teams to refocus on the customer experience while ensuring measurable performance.
