Chef John Besh will oversee the food and beverage program at the Pontchartrain Hotel when the historic building reopens next year, the building's owners announced Nov. 2.*

Chicago-based real estate company AJ Capital Partners, which purchased the historic building on St. Charles Avenue in January, said the partnership with the local restaurant group will include a revival of the storied Caribbean Room as well as the Bayou Bar, the grab-and-go Silver Whistle coffee shop and a still-unnamed rooftop bar boasting a 270-degree view overlooking the city and the Mississippi River.

?It?s an honor to play a part in shaping the future of a place that holds previous memories for me and so many other locals,? Besh said in a prepared statement.?
