Cost Control

At Crowne Plaza, we want our guests to feel able to do their best, achieve their goals and be recognized for their success. To help them, we need you to stay One Step Ahead and:

• Create confidence – by being an expert at what you do; by acting and looking the part and adapting your style to match your guests' pace in all you do.
• Encourage success – by supporting and respecting your guests and their goals; by recognizing them and making them feel valued and important; and offering thoughtful choices to help them feel restored and balanced.
• Make it happen – by being perceptive to your guests' needs; by taking ownership for getting things done and working seamlessly with others to help guests be successful.
