The golden key first appeared in Paris, France, which originally referred to the doorkeeper of the hotel in ancient times. After more than a hundred years of development, the golden key has become the synonym of the personnel providing high-quality all-round "one-stop service" in the hotel. The cross-shaped golden key on their uniforms is their most distinctive symbol. Not everyone can wear the golden key, but those who have five years of hotel experience and have been lobby managers for three years are qualified for the examination of the golden key.
