In this era of cutbacks due to the economy, The Breakers stands out in the lodging industry for maintaining its high service standards, and for its unwavering commitment to its staff – a remarkable 3:1 staff-to-guest ratio that is tops in the industry. “We are one of the few luxury hotels in the marketplace that savvy travelers can rely on to deliver an extraordinary guest experience,” said Burke. “We aspire to achieve even higher satisfaction ratings from our guests in this recession.”
Today, The Breakers still sustains its annual investment of $25 million in property and organizational enhancements – thanks to its ownership (descendants of founder, Henry Flagler), its strong financial position as a privately-held company, and its integrity as an employer. “Regardless of the pressures of the economy, we continue to successfully lead the marketplace as an independent, world-class resort, where the quality of our service staff and their high level of job satisfaction drive and sustain guest satisfaction. That is how we give our guests what they crave in a destination,” Burke continued, “a place where outstanding, friendly service leads to exceptional experiences and lasting memories.”
