Jana and Ken Kahn Hotel
Walk into the Jana & Ken Kahn Hotel and the first thing seen is the grand piano. It sits at the base of a grand marble staircase that stretches like a curved letter X beneath a crystal chandelier and a fine-dining restaurant on the second floor. But the boutique hotel offers more than simply beauty and panache. It really is one big classroom. Students in hospitality management, HPU’s newest major, will learn firsthand what it takes to run a hotel. And they will do just that in the Kahn Hotel with the help of HPU professors and Sheri Decker, the hotel’s general manager, a veteran of the hospitality industry with nearly 40 years of experience. The Kahn Hotel will become a learning lab integrated into the curriculum of the Nido R. Qubein School of Communication. This academic configuration will set HPU apart and give hospitality management majors vital experience to succeed in their career.
