The InterContinental San Francisco is pleased to announce Keith Hansen as Wine Director/Beverage Manager. In his new role, Hansen is responsible for all aspects of the hotel’s beverage program from the Michelin starred restaurant Luce and Bar 888 to rooms and banquets for the 550-room property. Hansen is a Court of Master Sommeliers certified sommelier and Cicerone Certified beer server. With more than15 years of experience in the restaurant industry, Hansen has come to strongly appreciate the beverage side of every dining experience. His background in restaurant management has given him valuable training in both the casual and fine dining industry along with knowledge on how to manage multiple restaurant locations simultaneously. After management positions at restaurants in Northern and Southern California, it was an opportunity with Chef Rodney Worth’s The Pear Group that gave him the chance to cross into a larger beverage focused role in addition to fulfilling his position as General Manager for three of the group’s restaurants. This experience set up him for success in his most recent position as Wine Director for the Michelin recommended Metro restaurant in Lafayette, California. The opportunity to work in the beverage industry on an even larger scale led him to the InterContinental San Francisco where the world of food, beverage, and travel intersect. “Working at the InterContinental San Francisco gives me the opportunity to work in different outlets – an award-winning restaurant, specialized bar, room service, and banquets – while continuing to improve the systems in place” says Hansen. “I have the opportunity to reach every guest in the hotel and lend my experience to elevating the beverage programs that already appeal to locals, travelers, and larger conferences.” When he is not immersed in the wine and beverage scene at the InterContinental San Francisco, Hansen is studying for the Court of Master Sommeliers Advanced Sommelier exam.
