Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong Completes Second Phase Of Hotel Transformation
Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong announces the completion of the second phase of its Hotel transformation, with the opening of its innovative new bar ARGO and lobby café Gallery on July 15, 2021. Joining the Hotel's collection of Michelin-starred dining destinations, the two new restaurant and beverage outlets further strengthen the Hotel's position as a global dining and fine drinking mecca. Breaking new ground with a thoughtful bar program, collaborations and innovative cocktails, the neo-classically designed ARGO has been created as a vessel for innovation, and is poised to become a Hong Kong staple among spirits aficionados. Meanwhile, Gallery hosts a cosy living room space that boasts chic dining during the day. Designed by AB Concept, the new venues are key additions to the lobby transformation that provide guests with an all-new arrival experience.
ARGO: A Vessel for Innovation and Exploration
ARGO is a cocktail bar that explores the modern world, celebrating innovation in the world of fine drinking. Its name is inspired by the myth of Jason and the Argonauts and their journey of discovery and exploration.
ARGO focuses on how the world around us is shaping the way we drink and eat, with a primary attention to innovation in spirits making. The debut cocktail menu "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow" celebrates six staple ingredients that may be endangered in the future, and unfolds their flavours and stories in a unique and creative way. The ingredients are honey, cacao, vanilla, coffee, rice, and apple.
The bar has partnered with local bee farm HK Raw Honey and cacao farm Chocolate Concierge in Malaysia in the sourcing of ingredients for cocktail creations. ARGO's very own bee hive located in Mai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong, produces mono-floral lychee and longan honey, which is used in the honey-based cocktails. Chocolate Concierge focuses on ethical sourcing of single-origin cocoa from the indigenous people in local plantations in Malaysia, bringing taste profiles from batch to batch that are unique every time.
Gallery: A Relaxing Nook Featuring Artisanal Coffee and Tea and Western Cuisine with an Asian Twist
Designed with a warm and inviting flair, Gallery is an inspiring space centred around the Hotel's grand spiral staircase that offers comfort food with a local flair and a beverage program that bridges the world of coffee and tea. The venue also features an afternoon offering inspired by the Hotel's Michelin-starred establishments, focused on beautifully presented East and West tea-time treats paired with single origin coffee and tea and bespoke blends.
Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong is the first hotel in Hong Kong to embark on a special partnership with the specialty coffee brand from Tokyo Omotesando Koffee for a curated, modern and specialised coffee experience. The coffee program at Gallery focuses on high-level craftsmanship with an Omotesando-trained in-house team, ensuring flair and theatrical presentations. Single origin coffee beans are roasted in Japan with a unique roasting style, available exclusively at Gallery.
