About the employer

It is part of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, an international luxury hospitality brand within Accor. The property offers premium accommodation, restaurants and bars, meeting and event facilities, wellness services, and personalized guest experiences. Fairmont is known for combining refined service with locally inspired hospitality, while providing structured learning and career opportunities for hotel professionals and interns.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers strong opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, wellness, and customer service, particularly in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, and Palawan. Filipino culture is friendly, family-oriented, and generally welcoming to international workers, with English widely used in business and hospitality. Life in Makati is modern and convenient, although traffic, humidity, and higher rental costs are important considerations. Shared accommodation and public transport can help manage expenses. Foreign nationals normally need an appropriate work visa or permit arranged with employer support; internships may require school documentation, a special permit, or another approved status, so requirements should be confirmed with Philippine immigration authorities and the hotel. Local candidates should prepare government identification, medical records, and school endorsement documents. The country’s many islands offer excellent beaches, diving, food, and weekend travel opportunities.
