EDITOR’S LETTER T HE CR AF TSMEN Right: See how our ladies and gentlemen, like Chef Sven Elverfeld, create exceptional experiences for guests in a new series of videos at ritzcarlton.com. ARTISANS OF HOSPITALITY S Small details make a big difference. When you stay at a Ritz-Carlton hotel, we hope you notice the many small details that our ladies and gentlemen take such pride in completing every day. For our concierges, chefs, massage therapists and housekeepers, their work is more than a job — it’s a passion. It’s this passion that inspired “The Art of the Craft,” a new series of online videos from The Ritz-Carlton that gives a behind-the-scenes look at how our ladies and gentlemen create long-lasting memories for our guests. Each video focuses on a different individual from The Ritz-Carlton, exploring who they are and how they use a blend of talent, discipline and artistry within their craft. In our proﬁle of Sven Elverfeld, the chef de cuisine for our signature restaurant, AQUA, in Wolfsburg, Germany, peek into the kitchen to see how Elverfeld deconstructs and reinvents classic European cuisine. Also, see how a housekeeper at The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong treats each room as if she were a detective, looking for clues that offer ways she can better serve guests. And at The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul, discover how a shoe shiner approaches service, offering cold apple tea to guests in the summer or a hot towel in the winter. I encourage you to visit ritzcarlton.com/ artofthecraft to see these videos and others, and learn how we strive to create memories that stay with our guests for a lifetime. Jamie M.
