The next generation of hospitality entrepreneurs

Dec 1, 2015

Les Roches Marbella International School of Hotel Management is the number one Hospitality Management School in Spain. For over a year now, the marketing team of Sala Group has been working closely with the final year students of Les Roches Marbella, who are specialising in Business Planning.

As La Sala Puerto Banús was created by individual entrepreneurs, so they are eager to encourage the students, share some valuable hands-on knowledge to ensure the success of their future in the hospitality business. Sala Group will also recruit some of the high caliber students from the final year class.

Sala Group provided the students with genuine case studies, one of them being their newest restaurant, OAK Garden & Grill, located in front of La Sala that will be opening June 10th. It was actually one of Les Roches’ students, Helen Gonzalez, who initially thought of the OAK idea. ‘I’m thrilled to be working with this talented group of young individuals. We have incorporated numerous ideas from their presentations and we would be proud to have any of them in our team,” the group’s chairman Ian Radford commented.

Les Roches Marbella International School of Hotel Management is a private university in Marbella, a branch campus of Les Roches Switzerland. This co-educational hospitality management school is accredited by the Commission on Institutes of Higher Education (CIHE) of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). Les Roches Marbella exposes their students to a broad range of hospitality management courses covering the inter-related areas of the travel & tourism industry.

About OAK Garden & Grill

Set against the spectacular backdrop of La Concha, OAK Garden & Grill is situated in a garden of an Andalusian style villa. Even though OAK is located in a prime location, right next to La Sala, the restaurant transmits a feeling of an intimate secret garden.

La Sala’s Executive Chef James Adams has created a menu incorporating both delicious grill specialties as well as a selection of La Sala’s famous signature dishes. With charm and elegance, OAK Garden & Grill is the perfect addition to the Sala brand. To find out more about this unique al fresco dining spot sign up on our OAK Garden & Grill’s website www.oakgardenandgrill.com. Opening in June 2016.
