With over 35 years of hotel experience and over a decade in the windy city of Chicago, Andre Zotoff relocates to the milder climates of Vancouver and will be taking over the helm of Vancouver’s beloved, castle in the city.
Andre’s love for the outdoors, mountains and ocean made the move to Vancouver a smooth transition. “I am thrilled to be representing such an iconic hotel,” says Andre Zotoff. “The Hotel is so rich in history and is located in the centre of the city. I’m looking forward to strengthening the legacy and to be a part of the future.”
A native of Munich, Germany, Andre began his career in hospitality as a culinary apprentice in 1977 working for top toques in Munich, Germany. Following his apprenticeship, Andre joined the Inter-Continental Hotels kitchen brigade as Sous Chef at the Hotel InterContinental in Berlin, Germany.
