English training for hotel staff in New Orleans
New Orleans runs a hotel market where the French Quarter's historic properties, the convention corridor along Convention Center Boulevard and the city's festival calendar all pull on the same workforce.
Inglés Hotelero trains the Spanish-speaking staff of hotels in New Orleans, Louisiana 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 New Orleans, your team's English shows up in every review.
The Quarter holds historic boutique hotels and guesthouses in buildings that predate elevators; the Warehouse District and Convention Center corridor hold the large group properties; and the Garden District adds smaller inventory. Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest and a dense convention calendar produce citywide sellouts, and the gap between a festival week and an August Tuesday is enormous.
New Orleans has a large and long-established Honduran community, and Spanish-speaking workers are heavily represented in hotel housekeeping, kitchens and construction across the metro. Guests are overwhelmingly domestic and here to be entertained — they ask for music, food and directions constantly. The front line is expected to be a host, and hosting happens entirely in language.
Every department speaks a different English. Each one is trained separately.
English for front desk agents
Front desk handles festival-week volume, historic-building quirks, and guests who want a restaurant, a second line and a cab all at once. Being a warm, capable guide in English is the role, not an addition to it.
See the program →English for bellhops and valets
Bellhops navigate historic properties with courtyards, stairs and no loading zone, and direct guests through a Quarter that confuses everyone. Clear English directions prevent most of the arrival friction.
See the program →English for servers and bartenders
Servers describe a cuisine guests specifically came for, handle shellfish allergies constantly, and work festival-week volume. Description and allergen accuracy in English are both central.

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.
About training your team in New Orleans.
Festival weeks are chaos. Can training survive them?
It is five minutes a day on a phone, so it bends rather than breaks. Employees who miss a festival week resume without losing their level or their place in the sequence.
Much of our kitchen and housekeeping staff speaks Spanish. Where should we start?
Test everyone free, then start with whichever department has the most guest contact — usually front desk or restaurant. The test costs nothing and gives you the whole property's picture before you choose.
Do you cover the local food vocabulary?
The restaurant module covers menu description and allergen handling generally, and your own menu can be added as custom drills scoped to your property.
