Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington celebrated International Housekeeping Week from 15 to 19 September, paying tribute to its dedicated housekeeping team of 80 members, including agency staff.

The week began with an opening ceremony and a sweet distribution to show appreciation to the team. A special breakfast was also arranged to make them feel valued. To encourage creativity, the hotel organised a towel art competition, where team members showcased their skills in creating impressive towel designs.

The celebrations concluded with a closing ceremony and prize presentation, where winners were recognised for their efforts and contributions.

Mr Chris van Dam, the Area General Manager, commended the housekeeping team for their commitment and passion: “Our housekeepers are the heart of the hotel. Their hard work, attention to detail, and dedication play a vital role in creating memorable guest experiences. We are proud of their contribution and encourage them to continue going above and beyond every day.”

To further mark International Housekeeping Week, the hotel organised an Open Housekeeping Recruitment Day on 19 September to welcome more talent to join the team. The response was positive, attracting over 150 applications.

The week-long celebration was a meaningful opportunity to honour the invaluable contributions of the housekeeping team and to highlight their vital role in creating memorable guest experiences.
