Aram Sabet Visionary Hospitality Leader & Creative Consultant

Aram Sabet, a dynamic entrepreneur based in New York City, shines at the intersection of hospitality, design, and brand storytelling. As President of Water Hospitality Group, LLC, he oversees a vibrant portfolio of celebrated venues:

• Pacific East Restaurant & Sushi Bar in the Hamptons an award-winning, New York Times three-star establishment blending Asian and Balinese influences.
• Water Restaurant Bar & Lounge, Fritz-Not Just Fries, and the sophisticated 49 Grove lounge in the West Village designed to captivate with a “Rock Star Ralph Lauren” aesthetic: plush dark-blue velvet couches, leather-bound book-lined walls, chrome touches, chandeliers, and dramatic monochrome photography.

With flair and foresight, Aram also offers advisory and creative consulting services for restaurants and nightclubs, specializing in concept design, décor, menu strategy, and service excellence.

Aram Sabet began his career in digital hospitality at Menus Online, contributing to the award-winning restaurant directory. Later, he sharpened his PR acumen at leading agencies: as an account director at Dan Klores Communications representing clients ranging from luxury hospitality brands to high-end restaurants and lifestyle products, and previously at The Alden Group, handling iconic beverage and culinary accounts like Bacardi, Martini & Rossi, Amaretto DiSerona, and more.

Aram’s educational foundation is equally robust: he earned a degree in Marketing and Management from the prestigious Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, in 1995.

On a personal note, his candid and playful about.me bio reflects a confident spirit—"Voted NYC's 101 Most Eligible Bachelor six years in a row by Gotham Magazine and five years in a row by Hamptons Magazine!" The tone—quirky and self-aware ("God knows I'm too much of a dumb ass to write something as good as this") adds refreshingly human charm to his professional gravitas.

Why Aram Sabet Stands Out

• A proven hospitality visionary, cultivating warmly atmospheric and design-forward brands.
• A strategic consultant to high-profile culinary and nightlife ventures, with flair for creative launch and branding.
• With a Wharton pedigree, he blends business acumen with PR-savvy, grounded in early digital media and communications expertise.
• He brings an endearing, authentic personality undermining pretense and embracing levity—even while leading sophisticated ventures.

Aram Sabet is a seasoned hospitality innovator and brand strategist based in New York City. With distinguished ventures such as Pacific East Restaurant & Sushi Bar, Water Restaurant Bar & Lounge, Fritz-Not Just Fries, and the stylish West Village lounge 49 Grove, Aram designs immersive dining and nightlife experiences that blend elegance, comfort, and narrative.

An alumnus of Wharton (B.S. Marketing & Management, 1995), he started his career in digital hospitality, helped build the Menus Online directory, and refined his marketing and PR chops working with top-tier hospitality and luxury clients at Dan Klores Communications and The Alden Group. Today, he also lends his creative vision to restaurants and nightlife brands, offering insight on decor, menu curation, and guest experience.

Approachable, charismatic, and confident, Aram Sabet embraces wit and authenticity aptly calling himself “too much of a dumb ass to write something as good as this” all while being voted NYC’s 101 Most Eligible Bachelor multiple years straight by Gotham and Hamptons magazines.
