Revival at The Kimpton Sawyer Hotel Welcomes Brian Crawford as General Manager of Food and Beverage
The Kimpton Sawyer is pleased to announce the appointment of Brian Crawford as general manager of food and beverage. In his new role, Crawford will be responsible for leading the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel's food and beverage team, in-room dining and catering efforts, in addition to overseeing operations at the hotel's rooftop restaurant and bar, Revival at the Sawyer. As Sacramento's first rooftop lounge, Revival features a selection of locally inspired cocktails, mocktails and small bites, overlooking stunning views of Downtown Commons and the Golden 1 Center.
Bringing more than seven years of culinary expertise to the Kimpton Sawyer and having deep experience driving operations of multiple dining outlets, including chef-driven restaurants, rooftop bars and banquets, Crawford is well positioned to lead the hotel's stand-out dining concept and catering efforts. Crawford joins Revival from Kimpton Hotel Vintage and Kimpton Hotel Monaco, where he served as area general manager of restaurants and bars for the two properties. While there, Crawford created dynamic food and beverage packages and developed partnerships with local businesses to enhance the culinary experience for guests.
"I am honored to join the incredibly talented team at the Kimpton Sawyer," says Crawford. "Revival is at the forefront of Sacramento's dining scene, offering a thoughtful and innovative culinary program that is helping to continue to put this great city on the map."

Styled by local decorator Celebrations, each dome features plush sofas, relaxing armchairs, and hints of holiday flare, perfectly complementing stunning views of the Sacramento skyline.
At $50 per person, the price includes a complimentary hand selected bottle of red, white or sparkling wine.
