Set to unveil in January 2023, The Georgian has been a fixture of the Southern California coastline since it first opened in 1933 under the leadership of the renowned female hotelier, Rosamond Borde. Seeing several iterations over the years, regular guests to the hotel and historic restaurant, the Red Griffin (and later The Georgian Room), ranged from Hollywood stars Charlie Chaplin, Clark Gable, and Marilyn Monroe to the First Mother Rose Kennedy.
A hospitality impresario and vintage motorcycle aficionado, Rob Ciancimino comes to The Georgian, most recently serving as Managing Partner at both Verse Restaurant and Intro Art Gallery & Chef's Table. Rob is a true hospitality veteran with over 25 years of restaurant and hospitality experience including time at the world renowned live music venue The Sayers Club as well as time overseeing Bars & Restaurants at The W. Rob has a deep passion for leadership and teambuilding, and his unique hands-on approach to the overall hospitality experience will be crucial for building the high touchpoint, luxury service model that guests will experience at The Georgian.
