Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong has named Jonathan Gabbay as its new Beverage Manager, placing him at the creative core of ARGO—an award-winning bar ranked #11 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025, known for its thoughtful cocktails and refined hospitality. In this role, Jonathan steps into a space where creativity meets precision, and where every drink is part of a larger story.
At ARGO, Jonathan steps into a setting already known for its innovation and warmth. His approach is to build on that foundation, introducing ideas that are both creative and accessible. He draws inspiration from Hong Kong’s layered identity—its flavors, pace, and people—and brings that into the glass. His cocktails often begin with a story, but they’re always designed to be enjoyed without pretense. He hopes to foster a culture where collaboration is central and every team member feels part of the bar’s evolution.
Jonathan’s path to ARGO has been shaped by a career that spans continents and disciplines. He began in the kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris, where he developed a sharp eye for detail and a deep respect for craft. But it was the bar that ultimately captured his imagination. The immediacy of guest interaction, the space for storytelling, and the balance between structure and spontaneity drew him in. Born in Lyon and now based in Hong Kong, Jonathan has worked in Geneva, Paris, and Miami, where he led the Champagne Bar at Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club. There, he helped shape a beverage identity that earned international recognition.
His vision for ARGO is not about reinvention, but refinement: keeping the bar dynamic, rooted, and open to new ideas. In his hands, ARGO continues to be a place where hospitality is felt as much as it is seen—one thoughtful pour at a time.
