Matt Stuhl has been operating restaurants, bars and hotel F+B for almost 20 years. Most of his education came from the world renowned culinary community of San Francisco where he learned how to make the most out of small spaces, small staff and even smaller margins.

Today he’s based in Denver and most recently, Stuhl supported the Hyatt acquisition of Two Roads as a member of the lifestyle division Executive Committee. Prior to the acquisition, Stuhl served as the Vice President of Restaurants, Bars and Events for Two Roads Hospitality. He oversaw 40 operating hotels and resorts, 20 pipeline projects, and successfully opened several notable Two Roads properties, including the iconic Cliff House in Maine, La Cantera in San Antonio and the Camby in Phoenix.  Prior to his tenure at Two Roads Hospitality, Stuhl was Regional Director of Restaurant Operations for Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, where he managed all aspects of Food and Beverage operations in California and Arizona. He spent over 7 years growing JDV’s F&B operations from scratch with the opening of Hotel Vitale in 2005, working his way up to Regional Director of Operations in California and Arizona. He has been honored to speak most recently at the International Luxury Hotel Association’s annual Inspire summit discussing 3rd party partnerships in our industry, contributed on an F&B panel for the BLLA, and has been a guest panelist for Tasting Panel magazine. Stuhl is a certified Sommelier and worked with both the Court as well as the WSET. Stuhl holds a B.A. in Public Relations and one in Theater Performance from the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire.
