The Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey Names a New Executive Chef and Adds Pickleball

The Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey welcomed a new executive chef in 2026 to oversee all culinary offerings at the waterfront hotel. The appointment brings fresh leadership to a property set directly on the largest man-made small-craft harbor in the country, in the heart of Los Angeles's Silicon Beach.

Alongside the culinary change, the resort debuted three new pickleball courts, adding to its roster of waterfront activities. A refresh of the lobby and guest rooms is also planned, continuing the hotel's steady investment in its accommodations and amenities.

Marina del Rey offers a relaxed, boat-lined alternative to the busier beach towns nearby, with quick access to Venice and the airport. The new chef and courts keep the Ritz-Carlton current with the area's active, coastal lifestyle.
