New venue is set to open early 2016

NEW YORK-- The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. (“The ONE Group”) (NASDAQ:STKS) today announced a new concept, The Hideout, which will open in W Los Angeles-West Beverly Hills in early 2016. Developed for the hotel, the new poolside restaurant and bar will offer guests a place to unwind and dine outside of the hustle and bustle of the city.

This news follows STK LA’s move earlier this year from its original outpost on La Cienega Boulevard to the newly revamped hotel on Hilgard Avenue.

“Since the reopening of STK LA, W Hotels has been an incredibly collaborative partner for us,” said Jonathan Segal, CEO, The ONE Group. “We’re excited to expand our relationship and to deliver a new concept for visitors of Los Angeles, as well as locals, with the opening of The Hideout.”

The ONE Group has several additional openings anticipated for 2016, including STK Orlando and STK Rebel in both Miami and San Diego.
