HOTEL MONACO PITTSBURGH’S FIRST ANNIVERSARY
Janna & Chad Hockenjos
Known for its trendy décor and in-room yoga mats, the Kimpton’s Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh did not hold back its signature style when it came to planning its first anniversary celebration. Head Chef Wyatt Lash created a special menu for the event based on the hip, gastro pub feel of the hotel’s restaurant, The Commoner. Choices included a slider station with various gourmet sandwiches and hors d’oeuvres that paired nicely with complimentary Commoner Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Port wines. Mastro Ice Company provided the materials for ice carver Michael Long to create a unique work of art to the delight of the 100 guests, and a nitrogen bar from Bella Christie and Lil’ Z’s Sweet Boutique served as a fun surprise, too! “We’re thankful to be able to provide the community with a personalized experience and are looking forward to accommodating future meeting and event needs,” says Neal Washington, director of sales and marketing at Kimpton’s Hotel Monaco Pittsburgh. If you missed the party and want to see more of the chic locale, stop by The Commoner for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and the hotel’s rooftop Biergarten, which opens for the season on MAY 3! — K.W.
