London Hilton on Park Lane has welcomed Antonino Forte as the new deputy general manager of 10° Sky Bar and Galvin at Windows.
With over 20 years’ experience in the hospitality industry, Antonino has won and been nominated for several awards throughout his career – including Moët Chandon’s Sommelier of the Year competition, Maître D’ of the Year in Italy and, most recently, the prestigious Master of Culinary Arts Award in November.
Antonino joined Galvin at Windows 11 years ago as assistant head sommelier and has since been promoted to several positions at the London restaurant. He has now started his new role as deputy GM of both the restaurant and neighbouring bar.
Antonino shared, 'Galvin at Windows has been my home for over a decade and I am thrilled to be starting in this new role as deputy GM of not just the restaurant, but our neighbouring 10° Sky Bar.
'We are a close-knit team here on the 28th floor of London Hilton on Park Lane and I am very much looking forward to continuing to develop the team and expand our offerings.
'We have recently launched breakfast at 10° Sky Bar, as well as Friday Horizons, our live music nights every Friday at Galvin at Windows, which have both been hugely popular and a great indication of the success that lies ahead for both the restaurant and the bar.'
