We're home to more than one shiny legend.

Executive Chef Mark Heimann joins us from the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Downtown Chicago where he most recently served as F&B Director. Prior to this, he spent 13 years at The Vinoy® Renaissance St. Petersburg Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg, FL, starting out as Executive Sous Chef, and was promoted to Executive Chef, and later was promoted to Director of Restaurant Operations. In all these roles, Mark made a name for himself by mentoring and developing leaders into new, higher-level roles. Mark's experience of working in multi-outlet, high volume catering operations is a tremendous asset to Luminary Hotel & Co.'s diverse dining offerings. 

Mark has two daughters and enjoys playing a round of golf, gardening, traveling and trying new restaurants and craft cocktail bars with his fiancé.
