Last edition, Novotel introduced you to new Executive Chef Kiki, this month they would like you to meet, the bubbly singing individual that you hear through the Two Forks Restaurant and Bar, Food & Beverage team leader, Chrystal Kyriacou. With a great personality and kind heart, Chrystal and her team help create memorable dining experiences for all their guests.

Starting as a Food & Beverage attendant in July 2013, Chrystal quickly proved herself capable of leading and directing a team to success and was promoted to team leader in September 2014. Chrystal enjoys the challenges of being a team leader across all areas including restaurant, bar and banquets helping her expand her knowledge in operations and the hotel industry. 

Chrystal is proof of Accor’s people-ology in practice, building genuine relationships with all guests and fellow staff members, making her a worthy winner of employee of the year for 2014. Having previously worked in retail, Chrystal finds hospitality allows for more fulfilment when serving people, with everyday being different and exciting. With the assistance of Accor’s great training and leadership program, Chrystal hopes to further pursue her career within the hospitality industry. 

When not serving guests in the restaurant, Chrystal can be found on stage singing her heart out and entertaining the crowd. For those that attended Novotel Parramatta’s conference relaunch event would have had the pleasure of hearing her perform live with band mate Dan in the newly refurbished Lennox Ballroom. Being a real crowd pleaser, Chrystal went on to win third place in Accor’s talent quest, Artzology! Using her voice as her instrument, Chrystal gets an adrenaline rush performing on stage and enjoys the excitement of engaging with the crowd. 

Chrystal discovered her love for singing during primary school when encouraged by family to go into her school talent quest, where she won first place. She focused on her voice further in high school and worked closely with a music teacher, where she developed skills to teach other talented singers. Working with Accor, has opened many opportunities for Chrystal to perform more gigs whether it be within the hotel network or for recommended client events.   

To meet the talented and friendly Chrystal, visit Two Forks restaurant & bar, where you can also experience Chef Kiki’s new seasonal menu and have a drink in the comfortable lounge area.
