Chefs Partner With 1 Hotels For Farm-To-Table Restaurants

Launching in fall 2014, an upcoming hotel brand, 1 Hotels from Starwood Capital Group, will feature a selection of farm-to-table restaurants from chefs Jonathan Waxman (Barbuto), Tom Colicchio (Craft, Colicchio & Sons), and Seamus Mullen (Tertulia, El Colmado).

The luxury hotel brand, which will focus on sustainable living, has plans to open three "distinct hotel and restaurant destinations" in New York City's Central Park, Miami's South Beach, and Brooklyn Bridge Park.

"With decades of combined culinary experience and proven track records for creating celebrated restaurants, Jonathan, Tom, and Seamus represent the very best in the farm-to-table movement," said Barry Sternlicht, CEO of Starwood Capital Group. "The 1 Hotel is more than just a property; it is a mission and a way of life. Our brand's name reflects the important truth that this is indeed, one world, and each of our behaviors that affect the environment impacts our neighbors and future generations."
