The Forester Hotel, a boutique Hyatt property located in Lake Forest, Illinoi, has seamlessly integrated hospitality and gastronomy to elevate their guest experience. Their latest offering, the “Culinary Experience” guestroom package, provides a unique opportunity for patrons to immerse themselves in a curated culinary experience within the confines of their suite. No need to head to a restaurant!
Renowned as a local treasure embraced by both travelers and locals, Chef Christian Alejandro, the creative force behind the acclaimed Oaken Bistro + Bar at the hotel, will astound guests with an exclusive dining affair within their hotel suite. Drawing inspiration from Latin American, Italian, and Creole flavors, Chef Alejandro will craft a personalized dining experience while working with guests. From the preparation to the presentation of each dish, patrons will be afforded a front-row seat, as the Chef cooks right in the suite.
Guests can take this opportunity to interact with the chef, ask questions about the dishes being prepared, and gain insight into the culinary techniques and ingredients used.
Tailoring the menu to individual preferences, guests will savor three meticulously crafted courses alongside two bespoke cocktails skillfully concocted by the expert mixology team at Oaken Bistro + Bar. From appetizers to indulgent desserts, each dish promises to tantalize taste buds and leave a lasting impression. As the night winds down, guests can look forward to breakfast for two at Oaken Bistro + Bar and a complimentary late check-out at 2 p.m., ensuring a seamless and unforgettable stay from beginning to end.
Matthew Greenberg, General Manager at The Forester Hotel said, “We are thrilled to introduce our culinary experience package, offering guests a unique opportunity to sit back, relax and enjoy all the property has to offer in a whole new way. With our picturesque setting, impeccable service, and culinary expertise, we are committed to providing guests with an unforgettable experience that exceeds all expectations and this package is no exception.”
Before Oaken Bar + Bistro, Chef Alejandro has worked at institutions including the Signature Room at the 95th, Niche Restaurant, Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago, The Mid-America Club and Veritas Lux Mae.
