Waldorf Astoria Park City is pleased to announce the appointment of Stuart Roger as executive chef. With more than two decades of global culinary experience spanning Michelin-starred restaurants, and world-renowned hotels, Chef Roger brings a wealth of expertise to the premier luxury resort. In his new position, Chef Roger will oversee all aspects of the food and beverage operation, including Powder, Waldorf Astoria Park City’s signature restaurant, in-room dining, catering and banquets, and poolside culinary programming.
Chef Roger joins Waldorf Astoria Park City from Waldorf Astoria Cancun, where he played an integral role in shaping the property’s gastronomic identity from its pre-opening phase. During his tenure, he oversaw five dining venues, in-room dining, and a state-of-the-art convention center, introducing innovative menus, specialty activations, and bespoke amenity programs that embraced the destination’s vibrant culture. Prior to his time in Cancun, Chef Roger served as executive chef at One&Only Palmilla in San Jose del Cabo, where he oversaw nine dining venues and created exclusive culinary offerings for guests and the greater community. His leadership also left a lasting impact at Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos and the French Embassy in Mexico.
Beyond his experience in ultra-luxury hotels, Chef Roger has worked in some of the world’s most prestigious fine dining establishments, including Joël Robuchon’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Monaco and Roger Vergé’s three-Michelin-starred Le Moulin de Mougins in the South of France. Additionally, he spent over five years collaborating with world-renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, bringing his culinary vision to life across his celebrated restaurants in Mexico.
“We are delighted to welcome Stuart Roger to Waldorf Astoria Park City,” said Charles Hill, general manager. “His deep appreciation for seasonal ingredients, locally sourced produce, and globally inspired flavors aligns perfectly with our resort’s culinary vision. With his creativity, keen attention to detail, and diverse experience, he will play a key role in shaping an exceptional dining experience for both our guests and the local community.”
Chef Roger shared his enthusiasm for the new role, stating, “Joining Waldorf Astoria Park City is a true privilege. I’m excited to create unforgettable dining experiences that highlight global influences while celebrating the richness of Park City’s seasonal offerings and local artisans. My goal is to elevate the resort’s cuisine, crafting dishes that not only satisfy but tell a story.”
Raised in the Alps with French and Scottish heritage, Chef Roger is a graduate of the prestigious École Hôtelière Savoie Leman in Thonon-les-Bains, France. His Alpine roots will inspire the elevated mountain fare guests can expect at Powder restaurant.
