As the Hong Kong-founded business celebrates its 25th anniversary, the man who started it all contemplates survival and longevity in the industry
Aqua turns 25 this autumn, with Paris as its newest perch. The Hong Kong-founded group now runs 20 venues in five cities – nine at home – and, unusually for a company this size, keeps them wholly owned. Yeo has steered the brand through critics and a pandemic. The question now is whether constant motion can keep Aqua relevant.
Five years in the works, this latest Aqua endeavour checks the group’s usual boxes of panoramic views, meticulous interiors, dramatic lighting and, of course, the food and drink it’s built on. Throughout its 25 years of flagship service in hometown Hong Kong, Aqua’s restaurants have also occupied square footage in Manhattan, New York, the Brickell neighbourhood in Miami, in The Shard in London and the International Finance Centre in Dubai.
