Daniel Hostettler talks about Relais
& Châteaux’s dedication to both
their guests and the environment
when exploring culinary trends, or, as
he prefers, culinary convictions. As
President and Managing Director of
Ocean House since the development
of the resort in 2009, he has played
a pivotal role in the exceptional and
sincere performance of Ocean House
and its two sister properties, the
Weekapaug Inn and Watch Hill Inn.
HOW ARE F&B AND CULINARY
EXPERIENCES DEFINING
LUXURY HOTEL BRANDS?
Unparalleled culinary experiences have
always been at the core of Relais &
Châteaux properties around the world.
We define our cuisine with four words
which express our vision of luxury:
First, “authenticity” because each
of our chefs’ talent and personality
is conveyed through a cuisine
made and served with sincerity.
“Creativity”, as our imaginative and
high-quality cuisine strives to inspire
our customers, employees and local
partners. “Passion” of course, as
every chef is driven by creating
exceptional moments shared by all,
and “commitment” because we try
to protect the planet’s scarce natural
resources and the diversity of the
world’s culinary traditions. This allows
us to share with our guests the best
that this world can offer today and for
years to come.
That is why skilled craftspeople, cooks
and sommeliers part of our Association
practice their art with the utmost
respect for the environment. This
excellence is our definition of a truly
luxurious culinary experience.
ARE GUESTS PLAYING A ROLE
IN THE PROCESS? IS THIS
SOMETHING THEY THINK
ABOUT WHEN THEY MAKE A
TRAVEL DECISION?
Our guests, when traveling, often
want to feel immersed in the culture
of the country and region they are
discovering, and this is what we offer
with our gastronomy. This cuisine
expresses not only the history and
culinary traditions of the surrounding
destination but also highlights local
produce. The guests are invited to
use all of their senses on this tasteful
journey.
HOW DOES YOUR CULINARY
TEAM PUSH THE BOUNDARIES
AND DELIVER AN OUT-OF-THIS-
WORLD EXPERIENCE?
Relais & Chateaux represents the most
extensive network of talented and
starred chefs in the world. We are all
committed to defending biodiversity
of land and marine resources, bee
protection, and offer food that reflects
local arts of living.
