Well it’s Christmas time once again and the air in Swansea is filled with the ringing of shop tills and jingling with excitement as people go about their Christmas shopping.

Here at the Dragon Hotel we are in full swing with parties and festive food on the menu….as office workers embrace the spirit of the season by consuming vast quantities of well the spirits of the season (and beer)

The accounts office is full of festive fun as they argue over whose turn it is to open the advent calendar and they sing along at their desks to the old Christmas classics! The Conference staff are busy making sure all the parties and events go with a bang and by the time the festive functions are over they will be all Christmased out!! From the Kitchen and the Brasserie drift the lovely smells of Christmas dinner and pudding interspersed with the dulcet tones of Chef Steve shouting instructions to his team!

On behalf of all the Management Team and Staff here at the Dragon Hotel, I would like to thank you for your valued custom and services and wish you a very Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year!!

Festive Greetings avid readers!!

We are once again honouring a team member..the one person that has stood out as contributing that little bit extra, and I am delighted to announce that the winner of this pretegious accolade is once again the lovely Tanisha Williams – Conference & Banqueting Supervisor!

Tanisha is one of our long serving employees and works tirelessly along side the Conference & Banqueting Manager Antonio, making sure that everyone attending functions, be it Birthday party, wedding reception, hen night etc has the very best of service.  Her attention to detail is seconf to none!  Her favourite time of the year at the hotel is trimming up ready for Christmas and it’s fair to say that there is never a bauble out of place or a piece of tinsel trailing!  So once again join me in a celebratory toast to Tanisha…may your Christmas lights glow brightly and your festive functions go with a bang!

Ho Ho Ho!

It was a pleasure to see so many enjoying afternoon tea on Monday, 11th April 2011 when The Dragon Memories Exhibition was officially opened by the Lord Mayor of Swansea, Councillor Richard Lewis.  With a trip down memory lane conducted by historian Professor Peter Stead, memories were flowing as swiftly as the tea and coffee!

With a delightful mixture of those who used to work at the hotel, those who celebrated their weddings here and those who simply came to enjoy the afternoon teas of a Saturday, there were plenty of tales captured live on air as Shanny broadcasted live for The Wave.

Ex Dragon staff take a trip down memory lane

The exhibition runs throughout the public areas of the hotel until May 12th 2011 and all are welcome to visit at their leisure to view the memorabilia on display.

Happy St David’s Day everyone, the daffodils are blooming and the sun is shining!!

Tracey and I have been enjoying the 6 nations, we won’t talk about the team’s one defeat! We are preparing for the descent of our friends across the water – the Irish.  They definitely know how to party in style.  We love our Celtic visitors they are all so much fun!

“…Have I told you lately that I love you?” (The dulcet tones of our Reservations Manager fill the Front office and dogs everywhere start to howl!!)

Calling all Rod Stewart fans out there, we are already very busy for the 1^st June so don’t leave it too late to reserve your room..  I am in great preparation learning all of his songs and I love to sing – badly as Tracey would say!! That should be a very good day/night so get your hair coiffed and your ‘Handbags & Gladrags’ at the ready!

Congratulations to Lee Langley who was awarded The Dragon Hotel’s prestigeous Team Member of the Month award for December! 

Lee is a member of our reception night’s team, who has over the Christmas season put in numerous extra hours, including time spent within other departments helping at festive events, as well as spending the best part of the snow week in house to ensure he was present for work as usual.      

Lee joined the team at The Dragon Hotel in September 2010, bringing with him work experience from various bars and nightclubs within the Swansea area.  During his short time here Lee has become a valued member of the reception team and we would like to take this opportunity to welcome him to The Dragon Hotel. 

Some interesting get to know you facts about Lee:

1. Lee has been in a relationship with his partner Dom for 2 years.
2. Lee is a second Dan in Wado Ryu karate.
3. His favorite film of all time is Seven.  
4. His worst fear is spiders (apparently snakes and rats are not an issue).
5. Lee’s friends and colleges describe him as bubbly and friendly. 
6. Lee has described himself as spurious. 

 Well done Lee and thank you for your continuous hard work!

It gives us great pleasure to award the prestigious Team Member of the Month award for November to the lovely Tanisha, who has elf-lessly gone above and beyond to ensure that the Hotel was trimmed up to perfection ready for Christmas!

Like a shining star she tirelessly ‘Decked the Halls’ and made sure that every tree was worthy of ‘Rockin’ around’ in preparation for the seasonal festivities and with five trees to trim it was ‘snow’ mean feat!

With all the effort she has put in whilst continuing to deliver excellent customer service and high standards it’s no surprise to learn that this year Tanisha can be found on Santa’s NICE list (and we’ve checked it twice!) and her one Christmas wish this year is to find Taylor Lauter in her stocking!!

 Some interesting facts that you never knew about Tanisha:

1. Her most favourite food is Chicken Fried Rice (Turkey for Christmas Day!)
2. She is a big fan of the TV show Glee!
3. Her most embarrassing moment ever was when she went to school and discovered that she was wearing odd shoes!! Talk about having two left feet or the boot being on the other foot!!
4. She has worked at the Dragon Hotel for six and a half years and still loves her job.

 Well done Tanisha and thank you for all your hard work!
