Katrina Ford has been appointed F&B Manager at The Calile Hotel in Fortitude Valley
Holding an extensive professional pedigree across both Sydney and London, native Queenslander Ford returns home as the front-of-house face for the new hotel's dining establishments. Ford brings experience at Merivale's Coogee Pavilion and InterContinental Double Bay in Sydney and SoHo House Group's Shoreditch House in the English capital.
At Calile, Ford will mould the light-filled space of The Lobby Bar to suit a crowd seeking refined simplicity, with a Queensland-tuned menu featuring locally sourced produce, wines, house-made sodas and a distinctly local cocktail list. The Lobby Bar will be an all-day dining venue.
