SARASOTA, FL. OCTOBER 25, 2017 - Art Ovation Hotel, an Autograph Collection Hotel slated to debut in Sarasota, Florida this December, has announced Dominic Vaccaro as Executive Chef to oversee the hotel's food & beverage operations.

Pending the property's highly anticipated arrival, Vaccaro is taking the lead in launching the area's newest restaurant, as well as designing the menus for the rooftop pool bar, banquets and catering, and room service dining.

Dominic Vaccaro holds an exceptional record of achievement as an accomplished leader and innovative chef in the culinary industry. Accumulating over 28 years of progressive experience in culinary management encompassing multiple operations in several locations, Vaccaro most recently held a role as the Owner and Executive Chef of EDGE Foods in Colorado. Prior to this, he climbed up the hospitality industry ladder with various roles, from Sous Chef up to Executive Chef at multiple Hyatt Regency properties in Colorado, Texas, Florida, and Missouri.

“I'm thrilled to join the incredible team that's coming together at Art Ovation Hotel and help create the narrative for the culinary offerings of this property,” said Vaccaro. “I'm most excited to create menus and gastronomic experiences that will correlate perfectly with the hotel's artistic objective.”

Art Ovation Hotel will be the newest addition to downtown Sarasota when it debuts January 2018.
