OUR SUCCESS STORIES
THE BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL, LOS ANGELES
Dino Rudolf
Nationality: Swiss
University: Ecole Hôtelière De Lausanne
Current position: Guest Relations Manager
My goal after graduation was to get a holistic understanding of the day-to-day operations across all departments of a hotel. In addition, I wanted to improve my skills and extend my network in a company.
The unique selection of iconic ultra-luxury hotels, located in key gateway cities, seemed perfect to me to improve my professional and personal skills and extend my curriculum. At the same time I was convinced that Dorchester Collection was an ideal place to build up a solid network.
On one hand you get to see the different facets of the daily operations of line and supervisor employees, and on the other hand, you’re empowered to spend time with the managers, take part in special training and cross-training and even meet up with the fellow management trainees. All of this together gets you a perfect mix of improving your skills and having the privilege to see beyond regular work tasks.
Besides a lot of technical operational skills, I think I improved my language skills – verbal and non-verbal – a lot. Furthermore, being exposed to challenging situations every day in front of guests and colleagues improved my self-assertiveness and confidence.
After I graduated from the programme I started working as a guest relations manager at Le Meurice. The current position provides a nice balance of both administrative and operational tasks. I enjoy the privilege of working with the guests and employees very much. Every day I’m exposed to different situations and requests which make my work days extremely varied.

Alan Shen
Nationality: US
University: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Current position: Assistant Front Office Manager
Once I finished the hotel management programme with the university, I was eager to join the workforce and apply what I had studied and learned in textbooks to real world challenges.
I loved the intimacy of the collection. With just nine hotels around the globe, Dorchester Collection is highly sought-after as one of the most luxurious and innovative hotel groups within the industry. This idea was strengthened during the time I spent at the hotel.
The rotation around different departments and the opportunities to engage with guests. The rotation allowed me to learn everyone’s names and faces, so I can find familiar faces around the hotel.
During my time with the ULP, I developed a keen sense and awareness of the luxury service – the do’s and don’ts to continually improve our standards.
