Elke Pfeil

My career choice was shaped by the experience of growing up in travel-restricted East Germany. Travel and luxury hotels represented freedom and a certain lifestyle that were utterly desirable to me. I started in hospitality as a trainee in 1996 and my path led me to working in some of the world’s finest hotels. Today, I can’t imagine doing anything else and I am still constantly amazed and thrilled by our fascinating industry and the beautiful people and hotels I get to work with.
