The Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake Downtown owned by Mr Earl Holding
(one of the 200 richest Americans) has been growing as an elite global cultural
image of our post-modern world . It was built especially for the Winter Olympics
Games in 2002. Beyond the most representative guests of the hotel and
numerous conventions, it hosts special events of Salt Lake and Sundays’
brunches, which are probably the best in the world. On the list of the events of
Gibson Lounge one can see even Friday Jazz with Nicola Madison.
You may don’t even need to know that The Grand America is among the 100
gold granted best hotels in the world. It is enough to learn that a compact
Bulgarian group has been working there, since the Bulgarians know well what is
quality life and how to search for quality in their social environment. But this
summer is a special – seven Bulgarian students have been working with J1 visa
in Grand and Little America. As a warm complimentary amiability, the nice
Eastern European accent can be heard in the gift shops, lounges and
restaurants, also enriched by Russian, Romanian and Slovakian students – all
J1 summer employees.
It is logical to expect that the International Institute of Anthropology in Salt
Lake City will find a favorite between the students. Daniela Krasimirova
Marinova was granted with the world-wide popular Certificate of the Institute,
for her excellent everyday expression of the European student and especially
of the Bulgarian cultural elite image. She was born on 15 July 1986 in the city
of Lovech (North Bulgaria). In 2004 Daniela graduated from one of the most
prestige language schools in Bulgaria – the German Language High School
located in her place of birth. That school was in fact founded after the Second
World War as an American college. Daniela continued in the Veliko Turnovo
University where she is a third year undergraduate student with major Marketing.
Last year the Bulgarian student worked with J1 visa in North Carolina. And
luckily, this year the new program of the Grand America Hotel in collaboration
with CIEE (Council for International Educational Exchange) placed her in Salt
Lake. Being for a few months in Utah, Daniela likes the best the city of Salt
Lake, especially in the night. She is impressed by the politeness of her
managers in the Lobby Lounge - Mark, Robin and Erika, while the friendly
smiles of the guests, co-workers and of the Vice President of The Grand
America, Mr Bruce Fery, and the Director of the Hotel Operation, Mr Anthony
Bartholomew, have made her days in Grand America Hotel the most
enjoyable. Daniela thinks that the hotel where she works and where she wants
to come back next year can become the best in the world. The Bulgarian
student recommends an expansion of some places (for instance, the Lobby),
more practical uniforms (especially for the Lobby Lounge), using all innovative
technology (in particular for cleaning dishes in the kitchen) and the employees
strictly to follow the rules of the hotel.
A month ago it was my pleasure to meet the parents of Daniela in Karlovo,
where they came with French guests to have celebrated together the 170 Birth
Anniversary of the greatest Bulgarian hero, Vassil Levski. The mother of
Daniela, Kornelia Dobreva Marinova, is a Director of a school in the city of
Lovech, and one of the most charming women that I have ever met. Probably
the same some Lobby Lounge guests in Grand America have already said
about Daniela. While other can go and enjoy her hospitality as a member of
the strong student 2007 team in Grand America Hotel till later October 2007.
