Melbourne-born celebrity chef Curtis Stone will lead the culinary vision for Waldorf Astoria Sydney when it opens its dining experiences in 2027.<\/p>\n

The move marks US-based Stone\u2019s first restaurant project in Australia and is expected to bring a distinctly Australian culinary experience to the country\u2019s first Waldorf Astoria hotel.<\/p>\n

Owned and developed by Fiveight, the hotel will feature two original dining experiences opening in 2027 at One Circular Quay, both of which will be shaped by Stone exclusively for the hotel.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing to Australia to create something of this scale is incredibly meaningful for me. These dining experiences are deeply personal projects, inspired by the producers, seasons, and hospitality culture I grew up with,\u201d Curtis Stone said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo partner with Waldorf Astoria Sydney and bring these ideas to life overlooking one of the world\u2019s most spectacular harbours is both an honour and a milestone in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waldorf Astoria Sydney\u2019s recently appointed <\/a>General Manager, Marlene Poynder, said the move marks a \u201cdefining moment\u201d for the hotel.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo work with a chef of Curtis\u2019 calibre makes this especially meaningful. Together, we\u2019re creating a destination where exceptional hospitality, world-class dining, and perhaps one of the world\u2019s most remarkable harbourfront settings come together to deliver an unforgettable guest experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCulinary excellence has always been integral to Waldorf Astoria, bringing together exceptional talent, iconic destinations, and a deep sense of place. Working closely with our owners, we curate collaborations that connect guests to each destination. Partnering with a globally renowned Australian chef like Curtis Stone for our Australian debut reflects our commitment to creating unforgettable dining experiences that are unmistakably Waldorf Astoria,\u201d Hilton Vice President Luxury Brands, Asia Pacific, Candice D\u2019Cruz said.<\/p>\n
