i. Biography
Andreas Mahl’s work sits at the overlap of international hotel kitchens and Austrian product. The line he draws in his own words is direct: international cuisine, Vienna, and Austrian top products, handled as a service proposition rather than a slogan.
Coming Up
Training at Berufsschule Wels 1 led into a long run through large-scale hospitality kitchens, starting with Chef De Partie - sous at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. (1995–1997).

The same pattern continued across later posts: Executive Chef at Swissôtel Quito (2008–2009), Executive Chef at Eden Hotel Group (2011), and Executive Chef Main Kitchen at Hotel Okura Amsterdam (2012–2014), followed by Executive Chef at Soho House & Co (2014) and The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. (2014–2019). He then served as Chef Und Geschäftsführer at Tauroa (2019–2020), before taking on his current roles as Executive Chef of Almanac Hotels (since 2022) and Head Chef of Hotel Imperial, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Vienna / Restaurant OPUS (since 2024).
