DANIELLE MARELLI

The Langham Chicago

Danielle Marelli is the Executive Pastry Chef at The Langham Chicago, returning to the property after her time with Nobu Chicago. With over a decade of experience leading high-performing teams in luxury hospitality, she is known for her refined approach to dessert execution, strong operational leadership, and ability to create calm, focused kitchen environments under pressure. 

Throughout her career, Danielle has developed a style rooted in precision, creativity, and elevated guest experience, with a particular appreciation for chocolate-driven desserts and ingredient-forward menu development. 

Outside of the kitchen, Danielle is deeply passionate about fitness and performance, bringing the same discipline and intention to her training as she does to her craft. She values building strong, supportive team cultures and believes that great kitchens are driven not only by skill, but by consistency, resilience, and care for the people within them. When she’s not in the kitchen, she’s likely training, traveling, or spending time with her dog, Mac.
