Our culinary students recently visited the @thompsonhoustonhotel
, a luxury boutique hotel offering modern accommodations, upscale dining, and large-scale event spaces with panoramic views of the Houston skyline, inspiring admiration for the hospitality industry.
Students toured several kitchens throughout the property and gained invaluable insight into both à la carte and banquet operations.
They also learned about the scale of events hosted at the hotel, where deposits can range from $50,000 to $300,000, and events for 500–700 guests can easily exceed a million-dollar budget.
The tour was led by Executive Banquet Chef Carlos Vasquez, a Culinary Institute Lenôtre graduate who has been with Hyatt for 15 years. Students also had the chance to meet other alumni working at the hotel, reinforcing the strong connection between our program and the hospitality industry.
Experiences like this give students a real-world perspective on professional hospitality operations and can encourage prospective students and their families as they consider their future in culinary careers.
