Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has appointed Simon Probst as Chef De Cuisine for The Globe, the iconic restaurant that overlooks Riyadh with panoramic views from atop Al Faisaliah Tower.

Chef Probst, who has more than a decade of experience in Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe, will oversee the culinary direction for the hotel’s finest restaurant.
