🌟#SurpriseAndDelightSunday🌟 As I settle into my new role at Waldorf Astoria Chicago, I'm excited to continue the #SurpriseAndDelight efforts that have brought so much joy to our guests. My goal is to carry these meaningful gestures into 2025 and beyond, ensuring every visit is unforgettable. Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting a local Chicago couple celebrating their 16th wedding anniversary—a short "staycation" away from their children to mark this special milestone. During a table touch, I learned about their incredible journey together. Did you know that the 16th anniversary is traditionally associated with wax, symbolizing how two lives have beautifully molded together over the years? To honor their celebration and their choice to share it with us, we went beyond the customary glass of champagne or dessert. In collaboration with our award-winning Waldorf Astoria Spa, we gifted the couple a "New Moon" candle, featuring notes of palo santo, moss, and violet. Just as wax embodies the years they've shaped together, this candle serves as a reminder of their time with us—because scent, the sense most tied to memory, has the power to bring them back to this special evening every time they light it. Moments like these remind me why I love hospitality: creating unforgettable experiences for our guests. Here's to many more magical moments at the Waldorf Astoria Chicago! #WaldorfAstoriaChicago #HospitalityMagic #SurpriseAndDelightSunday #MakingMemories #AnniversaryCelebrations
