The Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong has just completed the second phase of its hotel transformation, with two brand new F&B concepts that opened on July 15, 2021. Argo is set to become a staple for spirit aficionados in the city and worldwide, with a bar programme thoughtfully curated by Beverage Manager Lorenzo Antinori; while the new lobby café Gallery is primed to be the spot to see and be seen.
With exciting new offerings, plus new room designs, and things that we’ve always known and loved about the Four Seasons (an unbeatable spa programme and an existing collection of Michelin-starred dining establishments), we booked ourselves in for a fun-filled two-day staycation to check it all out.

This May, Tatler Asia launched its inaugural Tastemakers list as part of the Asia’s Most Influential series a roll call of the region’s most forward thinking, original and impactful figures in F&B. It’s a list where you’ll see founders of food charities rubbing shoulders with zany wine enthusiasts, visionary mixologists with veteran chefs and all the culinary creatives in between.
But the list is not just a list it’s a community, and that’s why we’re bringing together a cross section of the 2021 Tastemakers from Hong Kong for a series of intimate dining events at Tatler Dining Kitchen from 17-30 May. Each experience is underscored by the spirit of collaboration, with Tastemakers from different disciplines working with each other to create dishes and drinks that riff on each other’s strengths, preoccupations and philosophies.
