The Bastion Collection

Dedicated to epicurean excellence and innovation, The Bastion Collection, a subsidiary of Crest Investment Company, is an internationally renowned hospitality group with nine distinct concepts, boasting a total of Ten Michelin Stars and Three Michelin Keys awarded since 2019.

Led by a team of award-winning culinary experts and operations leaders, The Bastion Collection has developed and operates exceptional hotel and restaurant concepts in prestigious locations such as New York, Miami, Houston, and Geneva. At the helm is Culinary Director Alain Verzeroli, a longtime protégé of the legendary “Chef of the Century,” Joël Robuchon. As the proud guardians of Robuchon’s legacy and stewards of his renowned French culinary technique, The Bastion Collection operates the only two Michelin-starred Joël Robuchon restaurants in both the United States and Europe.

In addition to preserving and upholding Robuchon’s legacy, The Bastion Collection has gone on to conceptualize and operate its own successful and unique concepts globally. Chef Alain, a French-born culinary talent who refined his skills during years spent in Asia, leads a diverse team of chefs who together not only carry forward the French culinary DNA, but also seamlessly integrate international flavors—ranging from Italian and Mexican to Mediterranean and Middle Eastern—into distinctive, high-end dining experiences. This fusion of tradition and global influence exemplifies The Bastion Collection’s commitment to culinary innovation on a global scale.

The Bastion Collection is one of the global leaders in highest number of Michelin stars for a hospitality group.
