Summer Activities at The Academy, Hotel ICON
Posted by heo
In the spirit of asking you for your assistance in spreading the news to your community.
We have finalised a package that we believe will fit your students and parents criteria.
As a brief introduction, Hotel ICON is more than just a place to stay. It is a learning environment, offering guests in Hong Kong a hotel with a very unique experience. This summer, Hotel ICON proudly presents “The Academy”, a boundless concept space where people inspire people to let ideas flow and synergise.
Facilitating modern designed venues, The Academy houses three new event options for any occasion, including Bistro 1979, a retro-themed restaurant that provides an array of authentic Western and Chinese dishes designed by the hotel’s award-winning culinary team; Vinoteca Lab, a studio for workshops and classroom-style events; and Food Lab Kitchen, a spacious, fully-equipped kitchen, ideal for any kind of cooking classes.
At the Academy, our teachers are all certified trainers and professional mixologists and chefs from Thailand, India, Malaysia and Hong Kong, they will help students to learn new cooking skills or build on what they already know. This empowers them to acquire the knowledge and confidence they need to establish lifetime skills and successful careers in hospitality.
I would like to introduce you to three summer activity packages including Kitchen Confidence, MasterChef Cooking Class and Mixology Class (mocktails). Students not only can take the recipe and the dish or cake home but also an official certificate from Hotel ICON. We have separated the in-residence as an option for parents who might wish to stay over and make a staycation of it.
To know more about the various packages we have on offer please refer to the details attached.
As a token of appreciation, your students will be entitled to a 15% off on the first workshop experience for bookings between now and 23 July 2021.
