When the team at Embassy Suites Berkeley Heights in New Jersey set out to create a holiday gift for their clients, they knew they wanted to do something different—something personal.
The idea? A cookbook filled with favorite recipes from their staff. But this wasn’t just about sharing food. It was about sharing stories, honoring their people, and giving clients a heartfelt gift that would last far beyond the season.
From the start, the project reflected the warmth and hospitality that defines the Embassy Suites brand. Team members contributed meaningful recipes—ones tied to family traditions, cultural roots, and personal memories.
Each page of the cookbook became a glimpse into the people behind the property, celebrating not just what they do, but who they are.
The finished product was a professionally branded cookbook, designed to reflect the spirit of the hotel and the care they put into every guest interaction.
Clients were touched. The team was proud. And the cookbook became a lasting symbol of appreciation and connection.
“It was very personable and it was very us"
