VIRTÙ at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi Grabs #18 Spot on Asia’s 50 Best Bars List 2025

VIRTÙ, the acclaimed bar at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi, has secured the #18 spot on Asia’s 50 Best Bars list for 2025. Unveiled at a glittering ceremony in Macao on July 15, the accolade solidifies VIRTÙ’s status as a premier destination for cocktail enthusiasts in the region, highlighting its exceptional blend of innovative mixology and warm hospitality. In addition, the bar is currently ranked #42 among the World’s 50 Best Bars and won the Michter’s Art of Hospitality Award as part of Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2024.

“We’re thrilled to be recognised as one of the leading bars in Asia for the third year running,” shares Head Bartender Keith Motsi. “This award fuels our enthusiasm for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in a cocktail glass and crafting moments that endure long after the night is over. We’re immensely grateful for the continuing love and support of our community in Asia and beyond. None of this would be possible without all of you.”

With its air of laidback glamour, steeped in art deco and storytelling, VIRTÙ has carved out a distinct place in Tokyo’s much-lauded bar scene. Here, high above the streets of Otemachi, the elegance of Paris encounters the craftsmanship of Tokyo, unveiling a beverage menu filled with cross-cultural discoveries.

Drawing from a world-leading collection of vintage French spirits and rare cognacs, Keith and his team reinterpret classic French flavours through modern Japanese techniques, inviting guests into a drinking experience that feels familiar yet fresh. Stories are at the forefront of every sipping journey, from Japanese tales to European fables, offering unexpected ways to connect with VIRTÙ’s core inspirations.

Four Seasons bars across the region were also honoured in the 2025 list, underscoring the brand’s leadership in beverage innovation and the art of hospitality. From Bar Trigona at Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur (#39) to BKK Social Club at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River (#19), and ARGO at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong (#11), each destination reflects a bold point of view and a deep connection to place.
