R.S.V.P. Details
Given the pretty little package it comes in, it would be easy to as-sume that the Cham-bers Hotel doesn’t do
a lot of heavy lifting.
The Style Laboratory has been fortunate to work with the Cham-bers Hotel on multiple occasions. From so-cial events to public events to a couple of
RNC events.
Not only is the cater-
ing staff organized and on top of the event details, the banquet staff rushes to assist in executing the event in any way they can. And almost always
with a great big smile!
According to Execu-tive Chef Chris Dam-skey, he was ulti-mately destined to work at Chambers Kitchen inside the Chambers Hotel. Origi-nally an art major,
Damskey finds cook-ing inside the art-laden hotel gives him an op-portunity to express his creativity while be-ing literally sur-rounded by contempo-
rary masterpieces.
The Style Laboratory’s menu favorites include the Cracker Encrusted Tuna, Chicken Coco-nut Soup, Chicken Samosas and the
Kulfi.
Chambers Hotel
offers exquisite
cuisine with
outstanding
service in an
internationally
acclaimed hotel.
