Keio Plaza Hotel bartenders are highly regarded both in Japan and internationally for their exceptional skills and warm hospitality. Many young people aspire to become hotel bartenders, and upon joining the company, they receive their first “rite of passage” – a special hairstyle that has been passed down from generation to generation of senior bartenders.
Using a special tool and cream, the bartenders create a neat and tidy hairstyle that stays perfectly in place even while making cocktails. The senior bartenders even teach the proper way to use a hairdryer in the dressing room. It is said that at cocktail competitions held both domestically and internationally, people can recognize the hotel just by the bartenders’ hairstyles. It’s quite a unique story that the hairstyle of bartenders has become synonymous with the hotel.
Keio Plaza Hotel has many leading bartenders who have garnered attention and accolades in the industry. The passion and pride that goes into their hairstyles is a reflection of the rich tradition and legacy that these bartenders carry as representatives of the hotel.
