Anca Flynn has been appointed Director of Restaurants, Bars, and Events at The Kimpton Sylvan Hotel in Atlanta
As the Director of Restaurants, Bars, and Events, Flynn is the leader of all aspects of the hotel's R&B concepts and will work in tandem with Executive Chef Thomas Davis to elevate The Sylvan concepts' menu planning, service, and adherence to quality and safety standards.
Born and raised in Romania, Flynn knew she had a passion for hospitality early on in life. Combining that passion with her strong desire to travel the world, she took her first hospitality position as a restaurant stewardess working on a cruise line, and the rest as was history. With over 20 years in the hospitality industry, Flynn's career has taken her around the globe including managing a small mom-and-pop restaurant in the UK, before making a leap across the pond in 2006 where she worked in New York restaurants for 11 years, holding a variety of positions as a Server, Manager, and General Manager.
In 2017, Flynn made the move to Atlanta where she held General Manager positions at Morton's Steakhouse, Compass Group, and By George inside The Candler Hotel. In Fall 2022, Flynn joined The Kimpton Sylvan Hotel team to lead the food and beverage programming at all three of the hotel's restaurant and bar concepts: The Betty, St. Julep, and Willow Bar.
