Food and beverage innovation

Over the past 10 years, we have invested heavily in the quality of our F&B operations to deliver high-performing lifestyle concepts that compete with local restaurants at all levels – from grab-and-go to high-end steakhouses. Our rooftop bars have also elevated the industry by offering in-demand guest experiences that deliver high margins with low overhead.

The success of our F&B portfolio begins with our renowned research-and-development chef and state-of-the-art test kitchen. When you partner with us to develop a lodging-plus-dining project, our F&B team will produce a from-scratch concept and oversee all culinary operations including menu development, training, and service standards.

We’re always raising the bar
