Udliwano-ndlebe olulodwa noMphathi Jikelele, uMnu. Robert Hare

Ibali lokuqala:

Ngowe-1865, iHotele iBeau Rivage yavula iingcango zayo okokuqala. Umbono wabasunguli bayo, u-Albertine noJean-Jacques Mayer, oovulindlela bexesha labo, bavumela intuition yabo kunye nesibindi ukuze bafezekise eli phupha. Ngelo xesha, babengazi ukuba bakhe ilitye elinqabileyo kwimbali yehotele eya kuma ngokuqinileyo ngexesha.

 Ngaphambi kwesi sakhiwo esiqinileyo kunye namanzi aluhlaza acwebileyo eLake Geneva, iminyaka engaphezu kwekhulu elinamashumi amahlanu yembali idlula kubomi bale hotele yakudala, inika indawo umoya ongenakulinganiswa.

Iindwalutho, oosaziwayo, abadlali beqonga, iimbongi, oonozakuzaku, omaharaja, ababhali, abezopolitiko noosaziwayo baseHollywood bonke baba negalelo ekwakheni intsomi nodumo lukaBeau Rivage. Ngo-1898, kule ndawo, u-Elisabeth waseAustria wagqiba ubomi bakhe, kwaye ngo-1918, kwiiholo ezizolileyo zale hotele, iCzechoslovakia yasayina isivumelwano sokuzimela.

Umtsalane wembali kunye nobunewunewu bale mihla:

Salwa: Ingaba iBeau Rivage Beau Rivage Geneva idibanisa njani ikhubalo lembali kunye nobunewunewu bale mihla, kwaye undwendwe lufumana njani ngokungenamthungo ukulungelelanisa endala kunye entsha?

URobert: Naphezu kwexesha layo elidluleyo eliphawulekayo, umbono wehotele ubonisa inkalipho efanayo kunye nomoya omtsha njengabaseki bayo. Umbono oye wahlala udibanisa umtsalane kunye nobuhle bexesha elidlulileyo - ilifa lenkulungwane elabona ukuzalwa kwendlu - kunye nombono wobunewunewu bale mihla kunye namava enduduzo eyinkimbinkimbi ngokupheleleyo.

Ngomnyaka we-1873, iBeau Rivage yanika iindwendwe zayo i-elevator yokuqala eSwitzerland: i-jewel yezobuchwepheshe yelo xesha, inikwe amandla ombane.

Kamva, ngaphambi kokuba umbane ude ufikelele eGeneva, ihotele yayibandakanyeke kwenye into entsha kwaye yaba nguvulindlela kwizibane zegesi.
Nanamhlanje, iBeau Rivage iyaqhubeka nokuzihlaziya ngokuhamba kwexesha. Nangona kunjalo, undoqo wendlu kunye nomoya wayo oyinyaniso uhlala ufana. Ukulungiswa okwenziwa kwi-2016 bubungqina bolu: ezandleni zomakhi wezakhiwo kunye nomculi wangaphakathi uPierre-Yves Rochon, ukulungiswa kugxininise kwimigangatho ephezulu yesakhiwo, ukunika i-Beau Rivage Hotel ubomi obutsha kunye nomoya wembali.

Unikezelo olulodwa:

Salwa: Kukhuphiswano olunzima, zeziphi iinkonzo ezizodwa kunye neempawu ezinikezelwa nguBeau Rivage ukuhlangabezana nezinto ezikhethwa ngabakhenkethi namhlanje?
URobert: Zininzi iihotele ezinkulu eGeneva, kodwa iBeau Rivage igqame njengeyona izimeleyo, ihotele yosapho enembali etyebileyo. Ikona nganye yehotele iveza icwecwe lobugcisa, imizobo, imizobo, kunye nezinye izinto zobugcisa ezenza uhambo lokwenyani ngokuhamba kwexesha.

Amagumbi ethu makhulu kunomndilili kwaye siyawonwabela iimbono ezimangalisayo zoMthombo wokuDanisa waseGeneva, ichibi, iiAlps kunye neDolophu eNdala yaseGeneva, ejongwe yicathedral yayo entle.

Ukungcamla amava

Salwa: Uthini umbono wakho malunga nokungcamla kwamava ehotele? I-Beau Rivage Geneva iwaqinisekisa njani amava adibanisa ngokufanelekileyo incasa zasekhaya nezamazwe ngamazwe?

URobert: Iminikelo yethu  yaziwa kakhulu phakathi kwabantu baseGeneva, ngakumbi kwindawo yethu yokutyela eneenkwenkwezi zaseMichelin “Le Chat Boutique”. UMatthew Cruz uhlaziya imenyu  rhoqo malunga nemveliso entsha kunye nephezulu yexesha lonyaka, kunye nesakhelo se-French cuisine eyomelezwe ngezinongo zaseAsia kunye nencasa. Ubuchule bakhe buya kuba luyolo kubantu baseGeneva nakwiindwendwe zethu zamazwe ngamazwe ngokufanayo. Ebusika, iimoto zekhebula ezifakwe kwi-terrace ziza kumangalisa abaninzi, apho iindwendwe zethu zinokonwabela i-fondue yokwenyani yaseSwitzerland kwaye zintywilisele kwizithethe zasekhaya.

Ukongeza eyakhe into ekhethekileyo, umpheki onesakhono uKevin Olivier wenza ubumnandi obutsha unyaka wonke, ukusuka kwipastries kunye ne-ayisikrimu ukuya kwindalo yomsitho wemibhiyozo yesintu.

Indawo entle echibini:

Salwa: Njengoko inikwe indawo entle kunxweme lweLake Geneva, ingaba iBeau Rivage Geneva iyithatha njani inzuzo yendawo eyingqongileyo ukukhulisa amava ondwendwe ngokubanzi?

URobert: Uninzi lwamagumbi ethu anika iimbono ezimangalisayo zechibi, kunye nethafa engaphambili, eqinisekisa amava awodwa kwiindwendwe ezinqwenela ukusela, isidlo sangokuhlwa okanye isidlo sasemini ezijonge echibini kwiinyanga zasehlotyeni.

Uzinzo kunye nokuba sempilweni:

Salwa: Kubunyani bamava ohambo lwanamhlanje, ingaba iBeau Rivage iluthathela phi uxanduva lozinzo kwaye inegalelo kwiindlela zokhenketho ezinoxanduva ngelixa igcina ukuzinikela kwayo kubunewunewu nobutofotofo?

URobert: Ihotele yethu iluthatha nzulu uxanduva lwayo lwendalo. Ngaphakathi ehotele, siye saseka iqela lokusingqongileyo elidibana rhoqo ukuchonga iindlela eziphathekayo zokuphucula. Ngenxa yokuzinikela kwayo kwemihla ngemihla kokusingqongileyo, iBeau Rivage iphumelele isiqinisekiso se-ISO 14001 kwaye ikwanikwe nesihloko esithi “Swiss Tenable” yiSwitzerland Tourism (Level III). Ezi ziqinisekiso zibandakanya yonke imiba yozinzo kwaye zixhomekeke ekuhlolweni ngamaxesha athile ngamaqumrhu okuhlola angaphandle.

Ihotele ikwanikela kunye nabathengi bayo kwingxowa-mali ethi “Ngenxa yokuba Sikhathalele”. Njengenxalenye yeli nyathelo, iindwendwe zifumana ithuba lokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwe-CO2 okwenziwa kukuhlala kwabo. Kwangaxeshanye, iBeau Rivage iphinda kabini le minikelo kwaye iyityale kumahlathi kamasipala eNicaragua.

Ingcebiso esuka entliziyweni:

Salwa: Ngokusekelwe kumava akho, leliphi icebiso onokuthi ulinike oogxa beehotele abanqwenela ukuzuza ubunkokeli kushishino lokwamkela iindwendwe? Ngokukodwa, banokujongana njani nemingeni kwaye bakhuthaze inkcubeko yokugqwesa kumaziko abo?

URobert: Hlala unesimo sengqondo esihle yaye uzolile ngamaxesha obunzima, waxhakamfule amathuba yaye ungazibaxi iingozi kuzo zonke iingxaki. Ukugqwesa kuphunyezwa xa usoloko uziqhelanisa notshintsho kwimo engqongileyo, xa uchonga kwaye ugxile kumbono omtsha, naxa unika injongo kwiqela lakho kunye nokubakhuthaza kuhambo lwabo lokukhula.
