Sample cover letter for Internship position at hotel

Dear 

Please accept this letter and my resume as my application for the food & beverage internship with Marriott Vacations Worldwide. I became aware of the opportunity through my advisor, at University. I am currently a senior pursing a Bachelor of Science degree in Hospitality Management with a minor in Business Administration. I strongly believe that my 8 years of experience in food and beverage along with my academic degree makes me an ideal candidate for this position.

I have regularly worked 40+ hours a week while taking a full course load and also operating my own disc jockey business venture. Specifically, last summer I assisted the Director of Food and Beverage of a Minor league baseball stadium that held over 9,000 patrons. During that time, I was directly involved in leading operations of establishing schedules, receiving product, and inventory management. I also had the responsibility of placing orders with distributors and training new employees. My goal is to find a position within the hospitality industry with opportunities for career progression. I enjoy working in this industry and look forward to contributing to Marriott in any way I can.

In researching your organization, I was impressed by the 6% RevPar growth rate that  has experienced last year. Additionally, I am very interested in the many innovative ideas that your organization has implemented and admire the college programs that provide students with reputable experience.

Specifically, the value of putting people first is something I have always taken very seriously.
