AWAY FROM THE ORDINARY WITH ERICA
Let’s start with a fun dilemma: Either you shake cocktails all evening during Little Friday, or you serve the Bottomless Sunday Brunch each Sunday.
Erica: “Both options sound really exciting! I love welcoming guests, helping them feel at home at CASA, and making sure they have all the tips and information they need to enjoy their journey. But I have to say, I’m an early bird, so you’ll probably find me hosting the Bottomless Sunday Brunch rather than shaking cocktails! “
How do you experience your new role as Shift Leader in Restaurant East?
Erica: “I’m excited to step into the Shift Leader role, as it reflects the strong connections I’ve built with the team. Management has given me greater responsibility, which I welcome. Since starting here, I’ve consistently given my best and grown both personally and professionally. I feel confident taking on this new challenge. Clear communication with both the team and kitchen staff is essential, and understanding the people I work with is key for me.”
SOCIAL PIONEERS SINCE 1957
What do you find important in society that CASA has been involved in?
Erica: “CASA is dedicated to fostering inclusivity and diversity, creating a warm environment where everyone feels accepted and supported. During PRIDE, CASA hosted an initiative through an ART expo displaying paintings from local artists that focused on self-expression, belonging, and celebrating diverse identities. “
BRIGHT VIBES
How does CASA feel when you walk into the lobby through the revolving doors?
Erica: “From the moment I first stepped into CASA, I felt an immediate connection. There’s a vibrant, positive energy that you can see in the smiles of everyone around. The space is well-designed, with thoughtful details in the decor, colours, and books, making it a really welcoming place.”
What’s your favourite spot in the hotel?
Erica: “My favorite spots at CASA are where people come together. The lobby buzzes with conversations about trip planning or with people remote working, creating a vibrant energy. EAST restaurant offers a calm atmosphere during the day for work, while transforming into a lively space for parties in the evening. GAPP, the rooftop, is perfect for taking in stunning views and sharing special moments with friends.”
