Executive Chef Voco Amritsar

**At voco®, we’ve created a hotel brand that gives people a different choice. Hotels to count on but different enough to be fun. Unstuffy hotels, where people feel comfortable to relax, and just get on with relaxing. Our new family of hotels are connected by their own sense of style and individual character - and that’s something we make the most of. Finding the perfect mix of reliability and new experiences. Because we believe that when you respect individuality life gets interesting.** **At the heart of every great stay is a great host. We think the trick to hosting is to take the time to understand what your guests need, and want. So, before they arrive, we find out more about them and how we can make their stay better. Whilst they are with us, we give tempting recommendations of our favourite drinks or food, or tips for local experiences that they won’t find in any guide book.** Join the Team at the Pre-Opening of voco Amritsar, located with excellent road connectivity to the city’s commercial and residential hubs, voco Amritsar caters to a dynamic mix of corporate, SME, and MICE clientele in a substantially competitive market.
