COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. June 22, 2016 - DoubleTree by Hilton Colorado Springs is pleased to announce Michael Steele as the new Executive Chef of the hotel. Chef Steele brings exceptional culinary leadership and creative menus to all of the property's on-site dining options, including the Atrium Cafe and the Lobby Bar.

Boasting spacious accommodations and an impressive list of services, DoubleTree by Hilton Colorado Springs is one of the top-rated hotels in Colorado Springs, CO, for both business and leisure travelers. The hotel is confident that Chef Steele will significantly enhance the dining experience for guests and locals alike.

Chef Steele has over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry. His remarkable resume includes his most recent position as Executive Chef of the DoubleTree hotel in Raleigh, NC where he directed all culinary operations while collaborating with Culinary and Dining Room teams to create unforgettable experiences.

With the experience gained from the Hilton brand, Chef Steele is very excited to take over as Executive Chef for the DoubleTree by Hilton Colorado Springs. His creativity, team building, and innate understanding of the culinary world will help to enhance the property's presence in the Colorado Springs' dining scene.

Chef Steele notably worked his way to success. Starting as a dishwasher at Cakes-N-Things, he worked his way up and eventually gained a cake decorating position at one of the top bakeries in southern Maryland, Walls Bakery. Steele soon became interested in cooking more savory dishes, so he enrolled at Stratford University in Tyson's Corner, VA and began his new venture in the hospitality industry at the Tyson's Corner Marriott.

As a native of the District of Columbia, Chef Steele grew up with very diverse styles of food and cooking. His unique background makes him a visionary in the Culinary Arts world. His resume provides numerous experiences that make him a more than qualified fit for the DoubleTree by Hilton Colorado Springs.
