The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. (July 24, 2018) – The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay – the San Francisco Bay Area’s only oceanfront spa and golf resort – is pleased to announce the appointment of Alain Zhang as Chef of The Conservatory, the resort’s acclaimed restaurant featuring homegrown, handcrafted California cuisine. Zhang joins the award-winning resort from The Ritz-Carlton Sanya, Yalong Bay, where he served as Chef de Cuisine for Sand restaurant.

Zhang was raised in Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia, China. Surrounded by cooking throughout his childhood – his mother’s exceptional cooking was famous around town and his aunt and uncle owned a restaurant in Ordos – Zhang knew at an early age that he wanted to pursue a career in the culinary arts.

After completing his general education and working in his aunt and uncle’s restaurant for a year, Zhang began his formal culinary career as a cook at the Portman at Inner Mongolia International Hotel, Hohhot before working his way up to Chef de Partie. For the next five years, Zhang continued honing his gastronomic skills before advancing to Sous Chef as part of the opening culinary team at Shangri-La Hotel Hohhot at Xin Café, the first restaurant in the capital to feature an open-theatre kitchen concept inviting diners to view the quality of ingredients that go into every dish.

Looking to expand his culinary scope internationally, Zhang joined the opening team of Quest Restaurant at Jumeirah Etihad Towers, Abu Dhabi as Chef de Partie. During his year there, the fine-dining Pan Asian cuisine restaurant won the “Best Newcomer Restaurant Abu Dhabi” and “Best Chef” awards in 2011 and 2012 by What’s On Awards Abu Dhabi.

Shortly after, Zhang sought out new opportunities in his homeland with a continued focus on fresh regional ingredients, including serving as Chef de Cuisine at Le Meridien Qingdao where he crafted menus and oversaw all culinary outlets. In 2014, he accepted a Sous Chef position at Sand restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton Sanya, Yalong Bay before being promoted to Chef de Cuisine.

Zhang looks forward to developing relationships with the local farmers and fishermen of the Half Moon Bay coast to source the finest produce and sustainable meat and seafood that is, and will continue to be, at the heart of The Conservatory menu.

In his spare time, Zhang loves to travel and visit parks and beaches. He lives in the Bay Area with his wife and two children.

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. (May 23, 2018) – Guests of The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay – the San Francisco Bay Area’s premier luxury resort – can now experience a touch of Beverly Hills glamour with the Rodeo Facial, the latest addition to the resort’s bespoke Secret Spa Menu. The ultra-luxe treatment was created exclusively for the resort by Linda Ross, one of the most sought-after skincare specialists in Beverly Hills. Ms. Ross’ beauty products are handcrafted in micro-batches, using premium ingredients designed to transform skin back to a youthful glow.

The Rodeo Facial begins with a gentle cleansing foam, followed by a microdermabrasion scrub that reveals softer, luminescent skin and enhances absorption of beauty products. A protein and vitamin-rich skin tightening mask is then applied, stimulating blood flow to the surface of the skin and encouraging cell regeneration. In addition to containing organic essential oils that enhance elasticity, the Nobel Prize-winning ingredient, Epidermal Growth Factor, is featured in the anti-aging cream applied next. The cream stimulates skin cells’ metabolism and its ability to rejuvenate and heal at a rapid rate. A propolis and royal jelly cream, adopted by the Ancient Egyptians for its curative and nutritional properties, caps off the luxurious experience to promote healing and deter aging.

With a fresh, radiant complexion mirroring Half Moon Bay’s famous golden sunsets, guests can luxuriate in the award-winning Ritz-Carlton Spa facility, which features a co-ed whirlpool with a fireplace and ladies' and gentlemen's saunas and steam rooms, or cozy up with a glass of local wine around the fire pits on Ocean Terrace while taking in breathtaking views of the Pacific.

Ms. Ross’ skincare line is also available for purchase for a limited time at the spa boutique for those wishing to continue the star treatment at home.

The Rodeo Facial is available on The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay’s Secret Spa Menu for $350 (80 minutes), exclusive of tax and gratuity. The menu is carefully curated and ever-changing, with sample treatments such as the Diamond Facial, Tatcha Rituals of Japan, and Matanzas Creek Lavender Escape.

Half Moon Bay, Calif. – March 2, 2015 – A new workout program, SURFSET, launches this summer at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay. Guests staying at the coastal resort, located just south of Mavericks, the famous surf spot where waves can crest at more than 25 feet and top out at 80 feet during the winter months, can enjoy the physical benefits of surfing without battling big waves.

SURFSET is all about getting away from the traditional static workout and challenging the body in new ways. Every exercise on the SURFSET board is designed to engage the core and stabilizer muscles and shock the system to create real change inside and out, giving a lean surfer look to the body. Paddling a surfboard builds shoulder definition, strengthens the lower back muscles and increases cardiovascular fitness. Duck-diving through waves builds arm strength. The pop-up maneuver engages the core and pectoral muscles and helps build explosive power. The process of standing and riding a wave increases leg strength, flexibility and engages all of the postural muscles.

SURFSET is offered to resort guests every Saturday from 9 to 10 a.m. from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The class is presented outside on the bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, creating even more of a surf-style experience. Participation in the group class is included in the daily resort fee and private sessions are available for $130 per hour.

The Ritz-Carlton Spa offers a lavish setting to indulge in relaxation and rejuvenation. The Spa features 16 treatment rooms, including two couples rooms and three facial rooms, as well as a co-ed Roman mineral bath. Guests can enjoy signature face and body treatments, including the Pumpkin Body Peel, inspired by Half Moon Bay’s location in the ‘Pumpkin Capital of the World.’
