ITTN’s Sharon Jordan attended a business dinner in the Johnathan Swift room of The Ivy on Dublin’s Dawson Street, last night, as a guest of Grecotel Hotels and Resorts.
Yiannis Ioannou, Business Development Manager of Grecotel for the UK and Ireland was a charming host who brought a little bit of Greece with him from the music to toasts of Yiammas calling out between the 3 courses.
During his presentation, he brought us on a luxury Grecotel journey! With special Mention of their 50 years in business.
