Michael Wong
The InterContinental Mark Hopkins is proud to announce Michael Wong as the hotel’s new Executive Chef, overseeing the food programs for this historic hotel property including room service, its iconic Top of the Mark lounge, and Nob Hill Club – the hotel’s restaurant, Club Lounge and grab and go space. Wong has spent more than 20 years working with some of the most renowned hotel brands like Hyatt, Starwood, and Hilton in destinations across America from Hawaii to Virginia and throughout California. For Chef Michael Wong, his love of food began with his interest in art. Like many chefs, he grew up in a household where food and cooking traditions were part of family life but it wasn’t until college where he enrolled as an arts major that he began to see cooking as a form of artistic expression. “I accepted a job at Disneyland working in foodservice and enjoyed the interaction I had with the cooks and chefs,” says Wong. “It was art on a different canvas – I could still draw and paint, but on a plate instead.” From there, Wong decided to take some general classes at the local college while getting hands-on culinary experience in the field at the former Hyatt Regency Irvine in Southern California.
