Pure Grey

"It's all about people," says Pure Grey senior director of operations
and development Edward Viita. "Eating and drinking is one of the last
frontiers of genuine human engagement and one that none of us can
avoid." Viita got his start working in restaurants and bars in London at
an early age, eventually joining Marriott International as F&B director
for Europe. After acquiring Starwood Hotels & Resorts in 2017, the
hotel giant repurposed its Culinary Concepts Hospitality Group into
Pure Grey, with offices in New York, Dubai, and London. "We felt
rebranding would help clients better understand our approach-
collaborative and focused on the essentials," he explains.
Currently operating in 15 different countries under the Marriott
umbrella, the restaurant and bar consulting firm prides itself on a
bespoke approach. Before entering a new market, the team researches
"the culture and community to ensure we are always considerate,
progressive, distinctive, and locally relevant." Take Spice Market
within Qatar's W Doha, which boasts a cozy lounge bar that overlooks
the Persian Gulf, handcrafted screens, and candles flickering in golden
niches. On the same property, Market by Jean-Georges is a Europeanstyle eatery inspired by a casual family kitchen, where dark wood

paneling serves as a backdrop for eclectic wares. There's also the
moody, '40s-influenced Bartizen in the W Montréal, with a masculine
aesthetic characterized by dark wood accents.
Over the next six months, Pure Grey will open 10 new restaurants,
including a Southeast Asian spot in Mexico, a Greek restaurant
in Puerto Rico, and another Doha location, this one resembling a
Nordic spa. "Every opening is different and nothing ever goes 100
percent to plan," Viita says. "The secret is meticulous planning, open
communication, patience, and enthusiasm."

Bartizen's palette is enhanced by plush
seating and dark wood accents
