Equipped with 10 years of hospitality experience in Spain, India, France, and the Maldives at some of the globe's leading restaurants and hotels, Laia Ferrer has moved to Bangkok to become the Spanish chef de cuisine at Thailand's first INNSiDE by Meliá hotel.
The Barcelona-born chef joins INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit, set to open July this year in Bangkok's On Nut neighbourhood, after working at the Ritz-Carlton Maldives leading the hotel's Mediterranean restaurant Beach Shack.
Before that, she was chef de partie at two Michelin-starred restaurant El Portal in Spain, after undertaking an internship at three Michelin-starred restaurant Mirazur in France, ranked number one in 'The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2019'. She has also worked as the manager of Little World y Mandala Café in India, and as chef de partie at three Michelin-starred restaurants Dani Garcia CocinaConTradicion and Chef Carme Ruscalleda's Saut Pau in Spain.
In her new role, she has taken charge of INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit's signature Luz Bangkok Tapas Bar, on the hotel's two uppermost floors, the 34th and 33rd floors, where every seat is an opportunity for a culinary pilgrimage across Spain.
