1. Margarita Sáder
Paradiso, Barcelona
The entrepreneur and designer behind MS Bar Trends, a brand specialized in the latest hospitality trends, Margarita Sader also co-owns a bar with her husband. In 2015, she and Giacomo Giannotti opened Paradiso, a hidden watering hole tucked behind a charcuterie storefront in Barcelona’s buzzy El Born barrio that, in October, topped the World’s 50 Best Bars 2022 list for the first time. While the vivacious Venezuelan can sometimes be found enjoying a drink at Paradiso’s 30-meter marble bar, she is the bar’s creative director, putting her designer’s spin on menu concepts, naming drinks – On Fire is her favorite tipple from this autumn’s brand-new Evolution menu – fashioning the Eden-esque uniforms, and planning events.
