Good Hotels for my 3rd internship! Help Please
Hello!
I need help in some questions that are associated with hotels,and i know that in this forum are many people that stayed in very good hotels or have experience in this area, and i like hear you.
I´m in 3rd year of a Hotel Management course and every years I have a internship.
In 1st year I was in Tivoli Marinotel (Vilamoura - Portugal). I liked , i think taht is a very good hotel, and was very good for me.
In 2nd year I was in Hilton Vilamoura - Algarve - Portugal.
This year i will have another internship, and i need to choose and to send my Curriculum Vitae to some hotels.
This year i will have a management training and i want to have this internship in a foreign countries and i want choose a good hotel to have this internship, and if possible to train my English. I think that England it´s a good country, but as we know the world it´s very big and for this reason i decided create this topic to ask you to help me...
I´m waiting for a lot of suggestions

I can only assume that your home country is Portugal? Why England and not Canada, Australia, USA, or one of the other english speaking countries? What languages are you fluent?
The more you tell us, the more we can tell you!
And welcome to travelpunks!

Welcome to Hotel Management. Lot of work, but a great job. (Descent pay and free apartment!)
I manage hotels here in the USA.
You might want to check Accor out. They are world wide and have several brands... like Sofitel, Ibis, Novotel, Etap, Motel 6, Studio 6, Formula 1 and few others.
The beauty of it is, you can use your employee discount the world over!

What type of hotels do you manage in USA? I have the ideia that USA it´s very confusing and a little bit dangerous for a person with a 20 years old...isn´t it?
What are for you the best countries and the best hotel chains to have a good internship, with a good conditions and with a possibilitie to keep working in the hotel that you had the internship?

I´m Portuguese and I had my internships in Portugal, but now, i want make my 3rd internship in a foreign country! I need to practise my English to can be like my firs language, because in the future i want to make a Master programme, in Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne ! This master is everything in english...
At this moment, i can speak Portuguese, English (i think that is good! Not Perfect or excelent but i think that it´s good), and a little bit of Spanish.
I can consider another countries! But i´m 20 years old and i think that it´s better for me be in the Europe than to go to USA, Canada or Australia?
If i have any problem and if i am in the London, i can do Portugal more times than if i go to a more distance country or ...do you desagree?
Where do you think that i have more chances to have a good internship with a good condictions? I will go to this internship with some ideas as keep work (if possible) in the hotel of internship...
I want to know all your ideas , comments and suggestions! A lot if possible :D
