On a visit to the Ceylon Continental Hotel I was given an opportunity
to take a brief look at one of the rooms. I noticed each bed had some
sort of creation to welcome their new guests.
Assistant House Keeper Mangala Hemananda said as the first five star
hotel in the country we are always try to find new things to make our
guests happy. As the Housekeeping is the heart of a hotel, it has a very
big responsibility to keep.
Towel art is a mysterious way for housekeeping. Towel art is popular
at vacation destinations in many countries. This adds a nice touch for
the room and adds a little fun and creativity as well.
Though there are various types of towel arts we were careful to
select suitable arts for our culture. Normally we make peacocks,
elephants and swarns. When we make a towel art, we should always think
about the time spent to create as it. We have to prepare rooms in as
quick as possible. |
