Hilton West Palm Beach has announced that Wellington resident Zachary Mason is its new director of restaurants and bars, to lead the continued growth and enhancement of the hotel’s dining concepts in downtown West Palm Beach. In his new role, Mason will spearhead daily operations for all Hilton West Palm Beach venues, retail operations, meetings and events, and in-room dining.
“I’m thrilled to join the Hilton West Palm Beach team and to be part of such a dynamic and evolving food scene,” Mason said. “The hotel has established an impressive culinary foundation, from award-winning omakase at Moody Tongue Sushi to grill house classics at Galley, I’m excited to build on that by delivering elevated experiences that reflect the energy and diversity of our community.”
Most recently, Mason led operations at La Luce, the signature restaurant at Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek. Known for its fresh, locally sourced ingredients and authentic Italian flavors, La Luce flourished under his leadership. Before that, he served as general manager at Renata’s Hearth, an upscale, Latin-influenced eatery tucked inside the Arizona Biltmore, a Waldorf Astoria resort in Phoenix.
“Zach brings an incredible mix of creativity, operational excellence and a deep understanding of guest experience,” said Chris Inman, general manager of Hilton West Palm Beach. “We are excited to welcome him to the team and look forward to the continued growth of our culinary identity under his leadership.”
Originally from Gilbert, Arizona, Mason holds a business degree from Chandler-Gilbert Community College. A current Wellington resident, he enjoys exploring South Florida’s culinary scene, cooking and watching motocross racing.
