Meet Loukia! We are happy to welcome Loukia Boulari to the team as the new Rooms Management Trainee at Rosewood Abu Dhabi. With a passion for hospitality and an unwavering enthusiasm she joined us from Les Roches as part of the 2024 -2025 Rosewood Academy cohort. Now lets get to know her in three questions: Describe yourself in three words: Conscientious - Goal-oriented - Resilient   Why did you decide to work in Front Office? I personally believe that Rooms is the ideal department for me to learn the right skills and knowledge to be able to curate personalized experiences for guests to enhance their journey from arrival to departure. This department enables me to acquire hands-on experience from various segments of the Front of house as well as the Heart of house, fostering collaboration to make every guest feels at home while delivering high levels of service. I enjoy seeing the sparkle in guests' eyes when the team or myself are able to create "moments of magic" for them during their stay and there is no better feeling than when you see a guest coming back to the property because of the connection you built. This environment as well ensures to sharpen my attention to details as well as problem-solving skills which are critical components to acquire in order to grow within the hospitality industry.  Who inspires you most? The person who inspires me and influences me most in hospitality is my dad. His approach to hospitality goes beyond professional practice and embodies a genuine way of life. Through his genuine kindness and politeness, he showed me that hospitality is about making others feel welcome, comfortable, and valued. Watching him create meaningful connections with people has shaped my approach to the industry. His example inspires me to go beyond providing service and focus on creating memorable, heartfelt experiences for every guest, and motivating me to strive for excellence.     #RosewoodAbuDhabi #RosewoodAcademy #RosewoodHotelGroup #AbuDhabi #RelationshipHospitality #Disocveryourcalling
