First Female Executive Chef joins Delta Montréal Hotel
Montréal (June 28, 2007) - The Delta Montréal is proud to announce the appointment of Arianne
Morin to Executive Chef. Morin is making history - she is the hotel’s first woman to serve in
this position and one of the very few within the hotel industry in Montreal and Quebec.
Morin joined the Delta Montréal team in 2004 as Sous-Chef. Since then, her strong skills and talent
for menu development has placed her in a natural leadership role. Morin trained at the Institut

hotel restaurants and is acclaimed for producing original and flavourful dishes. In her new role
with the Delta Montreal, she will be responsible for Aroma, a Mediterranean-style restaurant,
the Cordial Bar, and will oversee all catering and banquet food functions being held at the hotel.
“Working at Aroma gives me the opportunity to be creative and explore international dishes which
our guests savor,” says Morin. “The name Aroma challenges me to create a culinary experience that
reawakens the senses beyond just the taste!”
The Delta Montreal is proud to provide a supportive workplace and excited to be a leading hotel
in promoting women to leadership roles.” I am delighted that Arianne Morin has accepted the position
of Executive Chef at the Delta Montréal,” says Alain Crevier, General Manager of the Delta Montréal
hotel. “She is highly motivated and energetic. Her passion for cooking combined with her enthusiasm
and drive for success will bring the Delta Montréal to new culinary heights.”
