“Hospitality is an adventure,” according to Emilia Domańska, Reservation Manager at the Moxy Warsaw Praga. She embodies the Moxy brand’s celebration of nonconformity, open-mindedness and originality. She looks for the adventure in her day-to-day tasks at the hotel.

Emilia joined the pre-opening team in 2018 and after a hiatus due to COVID, returned to help open the hotel in 2021. The hotel was the Moxy-branded hotel in Poland. Some associates on the opening team were a little anxious about making a good first impression in the city. Emilia thrived on that energy and took it upon herself to complete all possible training to be best prepared for a successful opening.

Though her job title is Reservation Manager, there is no job Emilia is not willing to take on. She most enjoys learning new skills and immersing herself in the responsibilities of all departments so she is ready to help at a moment’s notice. Recently, the hotel was at near-maximum capacity with a limited number of staff. A group was scheduled to check in one evening but at the last minute requested six additional guestrooms. With the housekeeping staff gone for the day, Emilia quickly took charge, making beds and cleaning bathrooms—all under one hour. Emilia says, “Moxy is about multi-tasking. I cannot afford to be unfamiliar with other departments—I always want to be ready for the unexpected.”

Emilia has also taken on a leadership role with the Warsaw Junior Business Council. Marriott’s Junior Business Councils work to preserve our company culture, advocate for industry issues and engage in community service. She regularly contributes to council activities, leading efforts that best exemplify Marriott’s core values.

She is well-respected at her hotel and considers her team her family. She can always be counted on to bring her infectious optimism to work along with her willingness to take on whatever new adventure may be in store.
