Tonic At the Top

Tonic Blends Diverse Traditions and Female Creativity at the Four Seasons Riyadh

Riyadh’s luxury hospitality scene has just added a sparkling new gem to its crown. Introducing Tonic, the chic new bar concept tucked inside the Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh at Kingdom Centre. Part apothecary, part escape, and entirely refined, Tonic offers a fresh take on the modern lounge—an elegant destination for crafted refreshments, sophisticated conversation, and stylish downtime. But what makes it truly unique? Its all-female team of hosts, mixologists, and creatives leading the experience.

From the moment you enter, the space whispers intimacy and intention. Warm lighting bounces off glass shelves lined with botanicals, herbs, and artisanal tinctures. The menu—both spirited and spirit-free—is as layered as it is artful, offering house-made infusions, local ingredients, and beautifully composed drinks that reflect wellness, indulgence, and storytelling in equal measure.

What sets Tonic apart isn’t just its curated atmosphere—it’s the women behind the bar. From herbalists to flavor architects, the all-female staff brings a nuanced perspective to luxury mixology. Their presence is felt in the smallest details: the choice of rare citrus, the balance of spice, the storytelling that accompanies every pour. They’re not just serving drinks—they’re shaping experience.

Adding to the richness of the experience is the diverse cultural makeup of the team, with members hailing from across the globe—from Italy to Argentina and beyond. Each woman brings her own heritage, taste memories, and regional inspirations to the mix, resulting in a menu that feels both worldly and wildly personal. One sip might transport you to a Kyoto garden with floral yuzu, while another echoes a Mediterranean coastline through lavender, fig, or sun-warmed stone fruit. This dynamic blend of perspectives makes every creation a quiet conversation between cultures, ingredients, and emotion.

In a city where female leadership continues to blossom across sectors, Tonic is a subtle yet powerful statement about presence and perspective. It is a bar, yes—but it is also a stage for creativity, for quiet confidence, and for elevated connection.

Whether you’re a guest of the hotel, a design lover in search of your next space, or a connoisseur of fine sips, Tonic welcomes you to unwind with purpose. And in a place where every element is considered, it’s no surprise that the final flourish comes not from what’s poured—but from who pours it.
