Matthew Smith has been appointed Executive Chef at The Westin Anaheim Resort
With over 27 years of hospitality experience, Matthew Smith leads the culinary operations for The Westin Anaheim Resort where he will be responsible for the hotel's culinary mission, creating menus, supervising kitchen staff, and coordinating efforts in all dining outlets. A California native, Smith recently moved back home from Hawaii after spending 15 years on the islands where he served as Executive Chef for the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa and Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa. Prior to his time on the islands, Smith built his career along the western coast at notable properties including Grand Hyatt Seattle and Park Hyatt Los Angeles. In his homecoming role, Smith plans to embrace regional flavors while showcasing the best local farmers and purveyors as he shapes a remarkable kitchen for an unrivaled luxury dining experience in Anaheim.
Anaheim Resort will be a relaxing haven of wellness and renewal while being located directly across Disneyland Resort and steps away from some of Southern California's most popular attractions including Angel Stadium of Anaheim, the Honda Center and the Anaheim Convention Center. Opening this October 2020.
