English training for hotel staff in Minneapolis
Minneapolis and St. Paul run a corporate and convention hotel market supported by a large concentration of headquarters, a convention center downtown and the Mall of America near the airport.
Inglés Hotelero trains the Spanish-speaking staff of hotels in Minneapolis, Minnesota to work in English. Every employee takes a free CEFR placement test (A1 to B2), then practices five minutes a day on a lean web-based platform using the English their own job actually requires. Front desk, bellhop and restaurant are separate modules. Pricing is per property, not per employee, and starts at $150 USD a month. Human resources sees each person's level and progress on a dashboard.
In Minneapolis, your team's English shows up in every review.
Downtown Minneapolis holds the convention and corporate core, with St. Paul serving government and its own convention layer and Bloomington running a substantial market around the Mall of America and the airport. Corporate headquarters demand sustains mid-week occupancy year round, and the summer leisure season and sports calendar fill the rest.
The Twin Cities have a growing Latin American population alongside large Somali and Hmong communities, and hotel housekeeping, banquet and facilities draw on all of them. This matters for fit: our instruction is delivered in Spanish, so the product serves the Spanish-speaking portion of a team well and the rest less so. Corporate guests are English-speaking and precise, which makes the gap visible in group feedback.
Every department speaks a different English. Each one is trained separately.
English for front desk agents
Front desk handles corporate accounts, convention blocks and airport-corridor turnover. Precision in English on billing and group blocks prevents most escalations.
See the program →English for bellhops and valets
Bellhops move convention materials and group luggage and direct guests through the skyway system, which confuses nearly every first-time visitor. Clear English directions matter here more than most markets.
See the program →English for servers and bartenders
Banquet and restaurant staff serve plated group meals with exact dietary counts. Confirming a special meal in English at the table is where accuracy becomes real.

Placement test
Every employee takes a CEFR assessment (A1 to B2) built around their own position. You know where each person starts before you spend a dollar on training.
Daily practice
Five minutes on a lean web-based platform, using the English that is actually spoken at a check-in counter or a table — not textbook grammar nobody repeats on shift.
HR dashboard
Level, progress and streaks by employee and by property. The number your monthly report was missing.

The instruction and coaching are in Spanish, so Spanish-speaking employees get the full benefit and others get much less. The free placement test will show you how large that group is before you commit.
Does the training cover convention service?
