Chef Cirone will oversee the hotel’s culinary operations, including its restaurants, banqueting and outdoor catering services, and in-room dining.
He will work closely with the hotel’s team of talented chefs to develop new menus and concepts that highlight his personal style of cooking, which combines traditional techniques with modern twists.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Chef Carlo before at The Gulf Hotel Bahrain, and I am confident in the quality he brings to the table,” said Crowne Plaza general manager Charbel Hanna.
“We look forward to seeing him bring his expertise to our theme nights like Carnivore Night, Seafood Night, Sushi Night and our popular Friday Brunch.
