NEW YORK—Richbell Capital and Blue Skies Forever, LLC, have formed The Adelphi Hospitality Group (AHG). The new company plans to develop four- and five-star restaurants and hotels in strategic locations in the U.S. and overseas, according to the company.
AHG has partnered with Chef Gray Kunz to assist in the creation of the F&B side of the business. Luxury resort expert Michel Ducamp will also join the AHG team as the COO, bringing more than 30 years of corporate, multi-property and property-based experience in luxury hospitality and real estate management to the group.
Restaurateur Christophe Chatron-Michaud will run the management of the restaurants and hotels, heading front-of-house alongside Michel Ducamp and Chef Gray Kunz. Chatron-Michaud has conducted the early development phases and operations of flagship restaurants including David Bouley, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Daniel Boulud, Michael Mina and Charlie Palmer.
The first AHG opening on July 1 will be Salt & Char, a modern luxury steakhouse in Saratoga Springs, NY, with Executive Chef Braden Reardon, who brings more than a decade of experience at various restaurants and hotels. Previously, Reardon served as executive chef at NYY Steakhouse in Manhattan.
Adjacent to this restaurant, the principals have acquired and are currently refurbishing The Adelphi Hotel, which will open in spring 2017. Originally built in 1877, the newly renovated hotel will blend Old World grace and its Victorian grandeur with today’s quality, service and contemporary amenities, according to the company.
“The Adelphi Hospitality Group is comprised of leaders in global hospitality and related enterprises, each of us bringing own specific expertise and decades of experience with some of the world’s finest properties and businesses,” said Simon Mildé, AHG Partner and CEO of Richbell Capital.
AHG partners include Simon Mildé; Toby Mildé, president of RBC; Larry Roth, chairman of Blue Skies Forever, LLC; David Roth, CEO of Blue Skies Forever, LLC; James Flood, COO of RBC; and Larry Baucom, senior managing director of RBC.
