CHICAGO — Since opening its doors 10 years ago, Celeste (111 W.

Celebrating this monumental milestone, founders Nader, Fadi and Rafid Hindo are toasting the occasion by announcing the formation of a new hospitality company, Celeste Group, in partnership with Chicago hospitality veteran, Arturo Gomez. An anniversary party was celebrated at Celeste on Thursday, February 29.
The formation of Celeste Group is a strategic step to build upon the new partnership's tenured successes and commitment to Chicago’s hospitality industry. Leveraging Hindos’ and Gomez’s extensive backgrounds and breadth of experience, the partnership is charged with expanding their footprint beyond their various brands to deliver a suite of new concepts reflecting their shared core values of innovation, collaboration, quality and service.
Nader Hindo expressed the group’s excitement for their new partnership with Gomez in the creation of the hospitality group. “The success and support our concepts have seen over the years has been great, and as we looked ahead to the next 10 years we knew we wanted to build upon our success and longevity and expand into new horizons, and what better person than Arturo— who’s a friend that shares our same values. He’s an industry heavy hitter with a depth of experience in a variety of concepts. We’re excited to forge ahead into the future.”
Gomez joins ranks as a partner with a keen eye on delivering top-tier service and a quality product. “I’m excited to partner with a group of people who share my vision for creating extraordinary experiences through a collaborative and nurturing culture. At its core, Celeste Group, will emphasize our shared love of service and culture.”
The establishment of Celeste Group heralds an evolution and refinement of the partners' legacy, drawing on the shared successes of their past and ongoing endeavors. Committed to innovation, the group will be introducing a wave of new ideas, projects, and concepts, while staying true to the group's hospitality cornerstones of engaging culinary and beverage programs, impactful design, curated sounds, and exceptional service. Aiming for a shared objective, Celeste Group is dedicated to creating unmatched experiences, fostered by a culture of harmony and collaboration.
