adults to carry out a number of more basic tasks. The Hotel is also involved in the Monacology festival
which takes place every year and is a week-long awareness campaign that focuses on improving the
environmental awareness of those in Monaco. The Hotel has proudly stated that they have trained more
than 230 of their staff members in a number of different sustainable development topics.
