Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club, Autograph Collection, a 357-room oceanfront hotel located along the Miami Beach boardwalk managed by Hersha Hospitality Management (HHM Hotels), announces the appointment of Luigi Iannuario as Executive Chef and Miguel Faget as Director of Food and Beverage. Visionaries in their respective disciplines, these leaders bring decades of culinary expertise and operational excellence to the hotel’s dining program.
Inspired by the hotel’s art deco charm and timeless elegance, Chef Iannuario crafts menus that blend bold, authentic flavors, delivering dining experiences that celebrate Italy’s rich gastronomic traditions. Cooking has been a lifelong passion for the chef, who was raised in Milan. He says he learned the fundamentals of Italian cuisine from his grandmother and parents, who instilled in him a respect for fresh, seasonal ingredients and the joy of creating meals that bring people together. He trained at the prestigious Istituto Alberghiero Professionale “Carlo Porta” and built a career working in renowned kitchens across Europe and the U.S., including several iconic Michelin-starred locations such as The Alberta Relais & Chateaux and Ristorante Dal Pescatore Santini.
“What truly defines a great restaurant is the ability of the culinary team to connect with guests on a deeper level, creating memorable experiences through attention to detail,” said Iannuario. “It’s the moments when we go above and beyond that set us apart. At Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club, my vision is to blend the rich traditions of Italian cuisine with the vibrant beauty and energy of this exceptional property.”
As the newly appointed Director of Food and Beverage, Miguel Faget brings more than 20 years of luxury hospitality experience and an innovative approach to menu development and service operations. His role will focus on aligning the hotel’s four culinary concepts and implementing updates that showcase the property’s dedication to quality and distinction. He will also partner with Chef Iannuario on the re-conception of Donna Mare, the hotel’s signature Italian concept.
Faget previously led operations at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach and Marriott Hutchinson Island Beach Resort, where he consistently delivered exceptional guest experiences while building high-performing teams.
“Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club is synonymous with impeccable service and culinary offerings,” said Faget. “I’m thrilled to contribute to the property’s legacy by delivering elevated dining experiences and unforgettable moments for our guests.”
