It is with great pleasure that I offer a reference for Ele Papapetrou covering her time at the Adelphi Hotel. Ele started with us at the Adelphi Hotel in December 1993, relatively soon after we built and opened the hotel. She rose through the positions of Head Receptionist and House Manager, becoming General Manager in September 1999. She has continued in the position with the new operators of the Hotel since we sold it and they took over in July 2003 I can also vouch for the fact that she remained with the Hotel as General Manager until 2005. From the start, Ele worked tirelessly for the hotel - more than fulfilling her duties as set from time to time. As our General Manager she had almost total freedom to run the hotel, reporting monthly to the Directors. We had experienced some difficulties with the position of General Manager prior to appointing Ele, but from the time she took control of the business it immediately recovered and ran smoothly and profitably. Ele carried out her duties with great enthusiasm, being available at any time of day or night, and marketing the Hotel with pride wherever she found the opportunity. Under her management the Hotel was always highly regarded. Ele always leads with first class presentation, and she trained her staff accordingly. Guest response was invariably to praise her (and her staff's) friendliness, willingness to help in any way and total concern for their comfort during their stay Our exceIIent level of repeat clients who considered the Hotel ’home’ when in Melbourne attest to her efforts. I would highly recommend Ele as a Hotel Manager to anyone beyond her absolute concern for her guests she is also strong and firm in her overall management good with staff relations, careful and considered with expenditure. She has an excellent knowledge of and interacts well with others in the industry On behalf of all the former Directors of The Adelphi Hotel, I wish her well in the future.

I attend the Certified Hospitality Supervisor (CHS) course and both the presentation of it and the Trainer Mrs. Ele Papapetrou were excellent. I recommend to all Supervisor's and Managers of the Hospitality Industry to attend the course in order to gain the benefits of it. When I attended the CHS course I was expecting another training course with the usual role play, theory etc, but I was pleasantly surprised at how different it was. The course was tailored and specific for Hospitality industry, it gave lots of good examples and was interactive all the way through. I found it to be enlightening but more importantly the delivery took account of different learning styles, something which as a trainer myself I recognize the importance of. I found the course enjoyable, the content interesting and the outcome very beneficial (The Head of Departments and Supervisors communicate better between them and their Teams and definitely their leadership skills improved). In addition to the above the sections on motivation and performance improvement were very beneficial and the training was full of practical tips and the interactive approach was excellent. Mrs. Ele Papapetrou is well organized and she covered all the relevant topics for our group with excellent delivery skills. It will be my pleasure to provide any further recommendation and information about CHS and her‘ if needed.  

I consider the Certified Hospitality Supervisor (CHS®) as the most prestigious certification for hospitality supervisors. To my opinion, this certification is indispensable to each and every hotel employee who is holding a supervisory and/or managerial position. CHS® is worldwide recognized as the lodging industry's highest acknowledgment of professionalism for supervisors in the hospitality industry. I have no hesitation in recommending Ms. Eleftheria Papapetrou is a very competent Trainer, with whom I have co-operated for many years. Ms. Papapetrou is a charismatic Trainer and very energetic when making her presentations. One can sense her emotion, enthusiasm and conviction while, during her presentations, she is creating a strong rapport with her audience, inspiring them at all times. During the delivery of CHS courses at the Four Seasons, Ms. Papapetrou lead the teams to successfully obtain the CHS certification. Please feel free to contact me should you wish further details.
