This particular hotel has been operating since 1887 and it is a member of Historic Hotels of America. The hotel is known for having the world's largest front porch and also for a number of notable visitors, including 5 US Presidents. Also, two famous old movies ''Somewhere in time'' and ''This Time for Keeps'' were filmed there. Samira will do a Front Desk rotation, working as a Receptionist and a Guest Service Ambassador from May to October 2022.

"I am very grateful to all amazing opportunities RIT Croatia has offered me so far. Even in this challenging time of Covid-19, RIT Croatia has been a great support in achieving my goals - doing my last internship in Antalya, Turkey, and now winning a J1-visa program scholarship for my internship in the US. Besides being grateful for the financial support this scholarship offers, I am very honored and excited to be accepted and to work in one of the Historic Hotels of America which is known for having a very unique service. I see this opportunity as a great investment in my educational path!" commented Samira.
