Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills Announces Partnership With Famed New York Restaurateur Jean-Georges

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., March 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, the highly-anticipated luxury hotel set to open in 2017, is excited to unveil award-winning Jean-Georges as the restaurant partner in the iconic brand's Beverly Hills debut. Under the direction of Michelin-star rated chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills' signature dining restaurant and unique rooftop offerings will showcase inspiring and sophisticated culinary experiences for a new generation of guests.

"We're thrilled to partner with Chef Jean-Georges, an acclaimed talent in the restaurant industry, to bring true epicurean excellence to Los Angeles," said Luc Delafosse, managing director of Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills. "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."

A savvy businessman, restaurateur and one of the world's most famous chefs, Vongerichten has an impressive 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 renowned chef is constantly developing fresh ideas inspired by his travels to impact the global culinary landscape.

"I'm excited to have found the perfect partner to make my West Coast debut and bring my culinary passion to one of the world's most prestigious hotel brands," said Vongerichten. "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."

Keeping in line with the hotel's unprecedented luxury and authentic hospitality, both the signature Jean-Georges restaurant and unique rooftop poolside dining at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills will embody elegance as guests enjoy contemporary fine dining and an array of hand-crafted cocktails.  With the unparalleled abundance of California's local, organic treasures— in support of independent farmers and fishmongers— Vongerichten will source and create a beautiful harmony of seasonal ingredients and artful craft, highlighting the finest flavors in each dish. The indoor and outdoor dining oasis at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills sets out to strike a perfect balance between guests' palates and their views of the space.

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 on the corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards in Beverly Hills, the 12-story, 170-room luxury hotel marks the brand's first new build property on the West Coast— joining the legendary Waldorf Astoria portfolio of 25 landmark destinations.
