AER at Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai re-opens this weekend after a year of complete renovations, presenting a thrilling transformation. A fresh and exciting beverage menu by renowned mixologist Alexandre Renoue, also known as Alex, who takes on the mantle of Beverage Manager, is designed to delight the discerning drinker.
AER has now opened its doors in an exciting iteration as a yacht club invigorated by a new team and a novel approach to food and beverages. Hallmarked by an alluring mélange of modernity underscored by time-tested traditionalism, architect Phillip Pond has reimagined the space into a contemporary bar with a nautical undertone.
The people-centric design places the essential touch points of service at the heart of its design, with an ergonomic layout that unfolds as a symmetrical dialogue between those points of service the warm, welcoming air of the bartender and hostess and the gathering spaces fashioned around the central bar that can be accessed from all four sides.
AER’s revamped menu, serves as a gastronomic voyage for gourmands and a masterclass in culinary artistry. “The beverage menu is an ode to its nautical ethos and thoughtfully curat as a sensory voyage through the changing patterns of the weather,” says Alex. The serene clarity of the tranquil Clear Skies cocktail line-up gives way to the brooding intensity of the Thunderheads, an assortment of bold spirits and alcohol-forward mixtures.
The focal point of the space, undoubtedly, leverages its status as the highest rooftop bar of the city with a retractable Wimbledon-style rain roof that offers patrons the chance to feast upon the unparalleled panorama of the cerulean sea through the monsoon.
Speaking of the new opening, General Manager Sunil Narang shares, “Everyone who visits us asks about AER, it is the most eagerly anticipated opening for guests of the Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai. The hotel’s commitment to providing guests with innovative and personalised experiences sets it apart and with AER we look forward to scripting a new chapter in the legacy of this cocktail capital that we call home.”
