Grand Cayman's newest luxury boutique hotel, ONE | GT, has welcomed Executive Chef René Cahane, who will shape the culinary vision of ONE | GT Grand Cayman ahead of its Spring 2026 debut. Set within the culinary capital of the Caribbean, Chef René brings decades of global expertise to define ONE | GT's food and beverage program, which will showcase three distinctive dining venues — Perle, a refined French-Mediterranean restaurant; Byū, a rooftop restaurant & bar serving Asian cuisine with island soul; and Café Bellini, an Italian bakery and café.
Chef René brings over 30 years of global experience across the Caribbean, United Kingdom, United States, and France. A classically trained chef whose early career began at London's iconic Stafford and Cadogan Hotels, he went on to lead brigades at renowned properties including The Adria Boutique Hotel, Durrants Hotel, and most recently Sandals Grande St. Lucian.
His career highlights also include serving as a finalist in the prestigious Roux Scholarship competition and coaching the St. Lucia National Culinary Team. Skilled in classical French, modern European, creative Caribbean, and traditional British cuisines, Chef René is passionate about blending fresh local produce with authentic global ingredients to create inspired dishes that reflect a balance of time-honored technique and inventive flair.
Opening Spring 2026, ONE | GT will rise 144 feet above George Town's vibrant waterfront, featuring 96 design-forward hotel suites and 81 private residences. Managed by Remington Hospitality and the Cayman Islands' only member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH), the property will debut Grand Cayman's first rooftop infinity-edge pool, a third-floor pool oasis, and three signature dining venues, all thoughtfully designed as a home for connection, culture, and contemporary luxury.
