WELCOMING THE ST. REGIS BANGKOK’S BEVERAGE CONNOISSEUR

TO THE ST. REGIS BAR

Brian Gonzalez, the New Beverage Manager, is poised to enhance the bar experience

The St. Regis Bangkok is pleased to introduce Brian Gonzalez as the newly appointed Beverage Manager, who will be in charge of curating the hotel's beverage offerings, particularly at The St. Regis Bar. Over a decade of expertise, he brings with him his mastery in cocktail artistry, menu development, and team leadership, which has redefined bar operations across the hospitality landscapes of Spain, London, and Bangkok. Most recently, Brian was the Beverage Manager and Head Mixologist at a well established Bangkok bar scene, where his innovative spirit solidified his reputation as a storyteller through his beverages, utilizing local flavors that celebrate the richness of the destination.

Brian’s illustrious career includes tenures at venues such as Bibo Madrid Restaurante, under the aegis of renowned chef Dani Garcia, and The Ned, managed by the Soho House & Co Group in London. His previous leadership at La Tuerta Funky Castizo in Madrid earned the establishment the title of the best new opening by FIBAR Valladolid – a major global event for the bartending industry - celebrated for its groundbreaking concept and impeccable execution, and catalyzed the creation of one of the year’s most acclaimed cocktail menus. Brian also won the 2019 "Cachaça Me If You Can" competition sponsored by Yaguara, as well as the Cocchi competition in the UK in 2018.

Now at The St. Regis Bangkok, Brian elevates the art of cocktail making, infusing the historical elegance of the Astor legacy into each drink crafted under his direction. He continues to pioneer the traditions of sophisticated drinking inaugurated in 1932 at the iconic King Cole Bar in The St. Regis New York, the original home of the Bloody Mary. Guests can indulge in "The Violet Hour," a curated daily celebration at The St. Regis Bangkok, marking the graceful transition from day to evening—a ritual that Brian is transforming into a theatrical display of mixology, setting the stage for the enchanting possibilities of the night.
