ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As this report is completely based on my practical experience during my six months training in Hotel Soaltee Crowne Plaza, Tahachal, Kathmandu, Nepal in four major departments of hotel that includes Food Production, Food and Beverage Service, Housekeeping and Front Office First of all I would like to place my sincere gratitude and whole hearted thanks to Soaltee Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts, Training Manager and entire management team who thought we are capable for doing this training as well as the staff who have imparted knowledge and skills, advice during my six months training period where I just didnt felt myself as a trainee but as a member of this hotel. As well as I would also like to thanks my collage Ritz Hospitality Management Collage, Balkumari, Lalitpur-9 for appreciating and selecting the hotel for our internship. It has been a great opportunity to be as a part of Soaltee Crowne Plaza. Through my six month of training, the friendly environment and kindly support that they build around us has made my entire period a very good learning experience which I have gathered here will be a way of success and support in my life. Once again, I would like to thank Hotel Soaltee Crowne Plaza for opening its door to us and our college Ritz Hospitality Management Collage for the guidance in selecting the hotel.
