Mitch Orr has been appointed as Culinary Director at 25hours Hotel The Olympia
Creating a dining experience that appeals to the local market and is well-received by the community will take centre stage for Culinary Director, Mitch Orr. In this role Orr will oversee Studio Paskin venues The Palomar, The Mulwray, and Jacob the Angel as well as rooftop bar Monica, in-room dining and events.
A proud Sydney-sider with deep roots in the city's dining community, Orr brings local insight, authenticity and trusted relationships to the project - making him the essential bridge between Studio Paskin's global ethos and Sydney's unique culinary culture.
The role marks his most ambitious project to date, offering an opportunity to build a dynamic team, and shape a new chapter in the Sydney dining scene.
Orr joins 25hours from his most recent role at the helm of Kiln where he honed his passion for live fire cooking - a method intrinsic to The Palomar's focus on elemental techniques. Orr's innovative approach has set a new benchmark for what hotel dining in Australia can be—creative, connected, and unapologetically local.
