The secret, say Hugo and Giselle , is teamwork. Having operated their own hotel in Europe for 12 years, and being involved in the hospitality industry most of their lives, they see hospitality as an attitude, and hotel management as a people-oriented business. And, Giselle adds, without the help of their sons Hugo Jr. and Roger, things would be a lot harder.
