To commemorate the twentieth anniversary of IMI, there was a wonderful collaboration with Four Forests International Primary School in Luzern. The pupils were asked to paint their impressions of a birthday celebration and a Hotel School. IMI works hard to forge strong links with the local community in Luzern and hopes that some of these budding artists may be the students of tomorrow. As a reward for their artistic endeavours and hard work, the pupils were invited to IMI in Kastanienbaum to the formal restaurant known as the Swiss Room. Here they were waited on with Silver Service by our Culinary and BA students.
