Rome native Lorenzo Antinori cut his teeth London's Dandelyan and The American Bar at The Savoy. He later jumped at an opportunity to move to South Korea with Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, where his team took the hotel’s signature bar Charles H to new heights. Antinori went on to revamp Caprice Bar at the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, which in 2021 was awarded number 10 on the Asia's 50 Best Bars list. That year, he also oversaw the opening of Argo, the hotel's sleek cocktail bar, which debuted at number 3 on Asia's 50 Best Bars.

In 2023, he opened Bar Leone in Hong Kong, which pays tribute to the craft of classic and modern cocktails with a strong Italian influence. It was named number 1 on the Asia's 50 Best Bars list and number 2 on the World’s 50 Best Bars in 2024.
