As a part of
its continuous Industry Exposure Initiative, INLEAD facilitated an Industry
Visit to Hotel Galaxy, Gurgaon
An
industry orientation helps a International Hotel Management student apply their theoretical learning with
their practical exposure which they get when they visit a hotel.
It teaches
the students about the various departments of the hotel and also the various
segments it caters to. Galaxy Hotel has
been acknowledged across the world for its style, grandeur, sophistication and
excellent services the hotel commits to provide the best in accommodation and
tailored to the needs of today’s global traveler. The room amenities and hotel
facilities meet demanding standards with a Food and Beverage facility of the
highest standard.
After a brief introductory session on the concept /tag line
of Hotel Galaxy which is Hotel, Shopping and Spa, the students began their
property tour with the guest floors were they saw the various categories of
rooms such as Base category, Spa rooms and Executive Suites. They were told
about the dynamic pricing concept adopted by hotels today.
Food and Beverage orientation included of Zinnia, the largest banquet hall of the
hotel measuring 12,000 sq.ft and other meeting spaces for social gatherings and
conferences. The students were appraised about the various banquet set-up’s,
pre- function area, buffet counters.
Following this was a visit to the Food and Beverage outlets.
First on the list was The Monk- a
modern Zen setting restaurant serving Oriental cuisine. The students came to
know about the concept of a live kitchen, the fact that the restaurant does not
accept prior reservations and there is average waiting time of 1 hour. Next on
the list was Howzatt- India’s first
cricket themed pub brewery serving fresh styles of beer. They learnt about beer
making process and the concept of fresh beer. They also were briefed about Bean
Stalk- café and pastry shop and Axis- a multi cuisine restaurant with an
exhibition kitchen.
Our first industrial visit at the Galaxy Hotel was great. The
visit began with a property tour which included different categories of rooms.
The students were also given an insight into the hotels USP, average sale and
daily pricing for rooms says Himanshu Razora, a student at
