Alessandra Monti
@alessandramonti
Hospitality leader with 15+ years in rooms, front office, and revenue for luxury hotels.
ItalyWhat I'm looking for
I’m a hospitality professional with over 15 years of experience leading rooms and front office divisions in luxury and design hotels, including Armani Hotel Milano, Lungarno Collection, and Senato Hotel Milano. I’m known for pre-opening and opening expertise, revenue management, and a consistent focus on guest experience.
Throughout my career, I’ve built strong teams (teams of up to 30) and delivered operational excellence through Rooms & front office division management, guest service excellence, and cost control & procurement. At Senato Hotel Milano, I led front office and revenue management and drove OTA optimization to grow direct and online bookings.
Today, I’m balancing hotel leadership with operational management of a luxury Art Déco rental villa and freelance Italian-language teaching (DITALS-certified). I bring multilingual communication, calm execution under pressure, and a hands-on approach to delivering exceptional stays.
