International Experience Comes Home

Max Wilbrand represents the third generation of his family at Hotel Restaurant Zur Post in Odenthal. After training at Schlosshotel Lerbach, he gained international experience in Los Angeles, at Söl'ring Hof on Sylt, Restaurant Schwarzenstein in the Rheingau and Restaurant Sühring in Bangkok. He later became restaurant manager at IGNIV in Zurich, further developing his approach to contemporary hospitality. Now back in Odenthal, Max oversees the guest experience and service across the family business. Alongside his father Alejandro and uncle Christopher, he brings a fresh perspective to a restaurant with over fifty years of family history.

“I’ve been fortunate to experience hospitality in some extraordinary places around the world. Bringing everything I’ve learnt back to our family restaurant is something very special to me.”
