Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, a luxury brand known for its award-winning restaurants and skilled culinary talents, has announced the appointment of Jean Michel Offe as vice-president, food & beverage. Most recently group director, food & beverage for Shangri-La Asia, Offe’s past experience includes a range of food & beverage and operation management related positions with Shangri-La Hotels and executive chef posts with InterContinental Hotels in Dubai, Oman and Indonesia. His detailed understanding of the food & beverage industry, in particular restaurant repositioning and reconcepting, combined with his international exposure will help Fairmont continue to deliver exceptional service as it grows the brand in global markets. As well, his food and beverage philosophy mirrors that of Fairmont, which is to offer local and authentic cuisine that provides a true reflection of the destination. “Whether it’s local flavours, sustainability or fresh and healthy cuisine, diners today are much more knowledgeable and discerning when it comes to the nuances of a fine dining experience. Moreover, whichever country we are in, we have to respect the cultural heritage of the locale and the culinary experience plays a very important role in that,” says Offe. Offe will be based in Dubai and brings over 25 years of experience to the new role.
