BEVERLY HILLS, CA—The Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, set to open in 2017, has unveiled Jean-Georges as the restaurant partner in the brand's Beverly Hills debut.
Under the direction of Michelin-star rated chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills' signature dining restaurant and rooftop offerings aim to showcase culinary experiences for a new generation of guests, according to the company.
"We both share a passion and understanding for creative techniques and superb quality in culinary arts and exceptional service, a philosophy that is infused throughout Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills," said Luc Delafosse, managing director of Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills.
A businessman, restaurateur and noted chef, Vongerichten has a three-star Michelin background and is at the helm of the operation and success of numerous restaurants celebrated worldwide. Through his extensive involvement in every aspect of his restaurants—from concept to menu to architectural design, as well as staff selection and trainings—the chef is continuously developing ideas inspired by his travels to impact the global culinary landscape.
"I truly value the opportunity to bring exquisite food and discerning guests together in one place and look forward to becoming a part of the Beverly Hills community, bringing a new inspiring environment to life and having a presence in California for the first time," said Vongerichten.
The concept for the menu and design of the Jean-Georges restaurant at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills is currently underway and the new restaurant will be unveiled in 2017 with the hotel's opening.
Located adjacent to The Beverly Hilton, the 170-room luxury hotel marks the brand's first new build property on the West Coast—joining the Waldorf Astoria portfolio of 25 landmark destinations.
