Meet Ariel our Chef de Partie who has been a member of the culinary team since the opening of the hotel. Many of our guests haven’t met Ariel, but we are certain many have tasted his perfectly prepared meals. He works hard to not only prepare food for events on our banquet floor but also feeds our internal associates daily.

When Ariel isn’t working he enjoys food trips with his family and relaxing on any beach. A unique fact most people don’t know about Ariel is that he has an identical twin brother in Singapore who is an architect, a bit different than his culinary career!
Ariel hopes to one day be a Sous Chef or open his own restaurant or food truck. Keep your eyes on the streets of Vancouver for his truck one day, we’re certain you won’t be disappointed!
