created multiple distinct food and beverage concepts for their worldwide

hotels as well as being approached to become involved in standalone
restaurant projects.

All our Senior Food and Beverage Executives come from backgrounds of
leading restaurant companies in their careers. Therefore we bring a
dynamic and laser focused perspective to our hotel offerings. In fact, in

almost every case in the last 7 years, Valor has viewed hotel F&B very
differently from its’ competitors, leading the way in designing restaurants
and bars around High Street retail themes and a personalized sensibility,
which have in every case substantially increased guest capture, external
guest capture, revenues and profitability. Currently, the F&B team have
over nine projects in development, covering Kimpton, Curio’s by Hilton,
Tapestry Collection by Hilton and Intercontinental by IHG. Each have
external restaurant & bar entrances and their own unique concepts.
