FL – January 2012 / Hospitality 1ST / The American
Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (EI) has awarded the Beacon
South Beach Hotel in Miami, Florida, with the prestigious Certified
Guest Service Property designation.
Guest
Service Gold, a guest service training program from EI, trains employees
and properties how to achieve a new standard of exceptional service based
on the philosophy of emotionally engaging with guests in memorable and
exceptional ways. There are three main components to Guest Service Gold:
training, employee certification, and property certification. In order
for the Beacon Hotel to be designated a Certified Guest Service Property,
every employee was required to complete specific training and pass a comprehensive
exam.
“Exceptional
customer service is a number one priority at the Beacon South Beach Hotel,”
said Elvis Taylor, general manager of the Beacon South Beach Hotel. “While
we are always looking to improve benefits and amenities for our guests,
we are also working to ensure they receive outstanding service on property.
EI’s Guest Service Gold certification is just one more way we demonstrate
our commitment to our guests.”
Twenty-eight
team members at the Beacon South Beach Hotel received the Certified
Guest Service Professional designation at the completion of their training
and the hotel was presented with a plaque denoting its achievement. The
property celebrated its achievement with an award ceremony at the property
that included a cake and refreshments.
