“I grew up in Argentina. My grandparents owned a hotel, my parents had a restaurant. Today I live in Switzerland, I speak five languages, none of them perfectly, and every week, in my roaming around, I stay at a different hotel. This scenario encourages me to always develop new options to the usual solutions. The first steps with Interna Collection are the start of a long journey.”
