Executive Chef
Bart Umidi oversees the culinary operation of The Hotel Hershey's entire Forbes Four-Star, AAA Four-Diamond property, including its three full-service restaurants, all-day cafe, lounge, room service, banquet and event space, spa restaurant, and seasonal poolside cafe. No stranger to The Sweetest Place On Earth, Umidi joined The Hotel Hershey culinary team in November 2021 following nine years as Executive Chef at Hershey Lodge.
Umidi brings extensive experience working at AAA Four- and Five-Diamond resorts to his role. Prior to his time in Hershey, he held Executive Chef positions at The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa (Hilton Head Island, S.C.) from 2010 to 2012, The Westin Maui Resort & Spa (Lahaina, Hawaii) from 2003 to 2010, and Fairmont Hamilton Princess Hotel (Bermuda) from 1999 to 2003. Umidi was educated at The Culinary Institute of America (Hyde Park, N.Y.) and earned his degree in 1987. Since then, his more than 30 years of experience also include professional culinary leadership roles at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess (Scottsdale, Ariz.), The Broadmoor (Colorado Springs, Colo.), and The Greenbrier (White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.).
Embracing the regional influences of so many diverse destinations throughout his career has exposed Umidi to different cuisines and enriched his culinary perspective. Umidi looks forward to continuing to share that perspective with our guests in Hershey, PA.
