Hotel management company, Valor Hospitality Partners, has established a dedicated food and beverage team to deliver a new hotel dining concept throughout the hotels it operates.  

The new dining concept is designed to rival high street restaurant options. 

A separate food and beverage company has been created. It will operate under the Valor umbrella. It will work on projects not only in the UK, but in the USA and South Africa too.

The new company will oversee the entire F&B process, from restaurant design and branding to menu curation and staff training.

The F&B team has already delivered the Store Street Exchange and Store Street Craft Bar at the DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester. This is a breakfast through to dinner restaurant.

In Leeds, the team has created The Lock Kitchen & Bar at DoubleTree by Hilton Leeds which is located on the Leed’s waterfront.

Valor co-founder and managing partner,Euan McGlashan, said: “After watching guests leave their hotels to eat in high street restaurants, we knew that we could improve our offering to encourage them to stay and to entice people to come in from the street to eat.

We want to create dining options that genuinely compete with the high street offering in every aspect, from design and atmosphere to food quality.”
