Meet Our Team – Chiara de Cruz

Events

For Chiara, hospitality started at the heart of her local community — a neighbourhood pizzeria where she first fell in love with the late nights, team spirit, and the joy of seeing regulars return week after week. From there, her path led to a larger venue, where she spent six years honing her skills and discovering her passion for people, planning, and pulling off memorable events.

Now, at Botanical Hotel, Chiara brings her signature warmth and experience to every occasion. Driven by a genuine love for celebration, Chiara finds joy in curating experiences that feel personal and unforgettable. She’s the go-to organiser for her friends and family (naturally), and believes great events are built on meticulous planning, good communication, and understanding exactly what guests are hoping to feel. Whether it’s a long lunch, milestone birthday, or work celebration, Chiara is all about creating the kind of atmosphere that people talk about long after the last toast.

When she’s not orchestrating events, you’ll likely find her somewhere Mediterranean (at least in spirit). Italian cuisine is her comfort zone, thanks to a childhood spent around family tables and time spent in Italy. For Chiara, food is memory, connection, and celebration all in one. It’s no surprise that she sees her role as something more than just logistics — it’s about bringing people together in ways that matter.
