SUBAIT MOOSA, COFFEE SERVER, CROWNE PLAZA BAHRAIN
ABOUT SUBAIT
Subait Moosa, an Omani national, who moved to Bahrain as a fisherman, joined Crowne Plaza Bahrain more than 15 years ago as a coffee server and has progressed as one of the hotel’s real pillars, providing great Arabic hospitality in the Crowne Plaza Bahrain and learning English and many of the guests’ names in the process.
WHY WAS HE NOMINATED?
A pillar of the hotel and the front desk team, Subait is considered the “grand daddy” of the hotel aged at 83 years old. Rather than retire, he has chosen to continue working because of his enthusiasm for his job. Aside from serving the Arabic coffee, which he prepares at his coffee station in the lobby every day, Subait is always armed with a book on the local history of Bahrain in order to promote the island.
