LEADINGHÔTELIÈRES | ARCHITECTS & DESIGNERS | CHEFS
"During my entire life as a compassionate hotelier, I always admired two professions the most - Chefs and Architects. Whilst the internationally renowned masterminds behind the designs of so many beautiful hotels receive highest recognition right from the beginning, Chefs quite often stay in the shadows until they have been decorated with highest accolades. Therefor we chose not to only invite established hospitality leaders, top architects and Micheline starred cuisiniers, but also aspiring young talents to these chapters .”
