Hospitality by Dubai World Trade Centre

Meet Georg Hessler, Director of Culinary Operations at #HospitalitybyDWTC since 2022. His love of food and the culinary world started since childhood, through travelling and experiencing cuisine around the world. This inspired Chef Georg to develop his skills and expertise by working across almost every continent. Chef Georg’s tip for aspiring chefs: “Everyone loves and can’t be without food. Don’t stay in your comfort zone in your home country, once you have completed your apprenticeship, travel the culinary world.” Have any questions you’d like us to ask the talented culinary team at #HospitalitybyDWTC?

As part of our culinary internship programme at #HospitalitybyDWTC, our interns began a series of educational visits, starting with Waterfront Market. The Waterfront Market is one of Dubai’s leading shopping destinations and a premier fresh food marketplace. Located in the heart of the city, it represents a fusion of traditional Emirati souq and the multicultural spirit of the city in a modern purpose-built facility. Accompanied by senior members of our team, the interns explored an array of fresh seafood, produce, meat, and spices, gaining valuable insights into selecting top-quality ingredients. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Waterfront Market for this enriching experience! 

The #HospitalitybyDWTC team extends its best wishes for the new Hijri year to you and your families.

Congratulations and thank you to #HospitalitybyDWTC’s team for making us proud. This achievement highlights your exceptional skills, creativity and dedication, enhancing our reputation and elevating hospitality standards in Dubai and beyond.
