A team of hotel dining veterans, including one who recently worked with celebrity chef Richard Blais<\/a> to remake a Scottsdale resort\u2019s restaurants, will launch four eateries from a new upscale hotel opening next month.<\/p>\n

Den\u016b Hotel & Spa<\/a> is set to open on Sept. 16 on Adams Street and Central Avenue. The 236-room hotel will feature a rooftop pool, a Hammam-inspired spa experience and a signature live-fire restaurant, Sart\u00e9n Kitchen & Bar<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDen\u016b gives us an incredible opportunity to create a culinary identity that feels distinctly our own,\u201d Executive Chef Brad Romoff said in a news release. \u201cWith Sart\u00e9n, we\u2019re drawing inspiration from the flavors and traditions of the Southwest and Northern Mexico while creating an experience that is thoughtful, contemporary and full of character.\u201d<\/p>\n

What to eat, drink at Den\u016b Hotel & Spa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Romoff, Food and Beverage Director Anthony Fanella and\u202fSous Chef Adam Cho crafted the hotel\u2019s culinary lineup. Romoff most recently oversaw the kitchens at Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort. Fanella directed food and beverage at the Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort during its dining transformation with Blais. Cho has worked at Great Wolf Lodge among other resorts.<\/p>\n

At Sart\u00e9n Kitchen & Bar, \u201cevery dish is shaped by fire, smoke, cast iron or embers,\u201d the announcement said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those dishes include fire-roasted bone marrow with grilled sourdough and roasted salsa macha, Ceviche Verde with Sonoran citrus, elote with Taj\u00edn and crema and a 14-ounce prime ribeye marinated in citrus and ancho chile.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the weekends, Sart\u00e9n will host Gather Brunch. Designed for four to six diners to share, the feast includes warm pastries, seasonal fruit, artisan cheeses, a selection of shared plates and a chef\u2019s seasonal sweet. Among those breakfast bakes is a cast iron cinnamon roll finished tableside with a pour of warm mesquite honey butter.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy vision is to create food that feels memorable without being overcomplicated, giving guests something they\u2019re excited to return to while building a team and culture that brings that experience to life consistently,\u201d Romoff said.<\/p>\n

Sart\u00e9n\u2019s bar will host happy hour and live music, and customers will be able to grab a bite and a cocktail at the bar or on an indoor-outdoor patio.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The hotel will also host food-focused events, such as seasonal chef dinners, wine and spirit collaborations and pet-friendly \u201cYappy Hours,\u201d among others.<\/p>\n

Valley diners are no strangers to hoteliers who seek to cater to locals and tourists alike. The team at Den\u016b hopes to make its eateries and bars a destination for everyone at any time.<\/p>\n

\u201cDen\u016b is designed to be the downtown place to gather,\u201d Vista Murphy, the vice president of food and beverage for Pacific Hospitality Group, which owns the hotel, said in the release. \u201cFrom morning coffee and casual daytime meetings to sunset rituals on the rooftop, chef-driven dinners, eclectic live music and community celebrations, our culinary program creates inviting experiences throughout the day and into the evening.\u201d<\/p>\n
