Park Hyatt has partnered with The New York Times to present The New York Times TasteMasters, a global series of curated events. Each gathering brings together influential figures from art, cuisine, fashion and other cultural fields for intimate onstage conversations with a New York Times journalist. These thoughtful pairings highlight contemporary creative voices and encourage meaningful exchange between speakers and guests.
After the conversations, attendees are invited to continue the experience through the brand’s signature Park Hyatt Masters of Food and Wine program. Chefs at participating Park Hyatt hotels collaborate with The New York Times to create seasonal menus that complement themes from the events. Beginning Oct. 26, extended coverage of the series will be available on NYTimes.com/TasteMasters, provided complimentary to Park Hyatt guests.
The inaugural TasteMasters event took place at Park Hyatt New York and paired chef, restaurateur and food writer Yotam Ottolenghi with Klaus Biesenbach, chief curator-at-large at the Museum of Modern Art. The conversation was moderated by New York Times dining reporter Julia Moskin. Additional events are scheduled at Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme on Nov. 23 and Park Hyatt Tokyo on Dec. 2, continuing the series’ international reach.
“We are thrilled to be working with The New York Times on this exciting new content and event series. This is a critical piece of our integrated marketing program as we communicate to current and future guests that the Park Hyatt brand truly understands that luxury is personal,” said Sandra Micek, senior vice president of global brands, Hyatt. “In today’s knowledge-is-currency world, our guests appreciate the opportunity to learn new things at every turn. This work with The New York Times is a great example of our commitment to providing unexpected and unique experiences where our guests will have access to some of the most culturally influential personalities across the globe.”
