The Kowloon Hotel’s Strawberry Serenade Afternoon Tea
The Kowloon Hotel continues its afternoon tea tradition of combining Western flavours with traditional Chinese ingredients, this time with a vibrant strawberry theme. The East-meets-West seasonal showstopper is the theatrical à la minute baked Alaska, followed closely by the strawberry napoleon and strawberry panna cotta. On the savoury front, diners can dig into the likes of Japanese Wagyu foie gras bun, gold-flecked braised abalone, and classic shrimp toast.
The Strawberry Serenade Afternoon Tea is priced at HKD294.80 for one.

The St. Regis’ Guerlain Afternoon Tea
For an afternoon tea with an elegant Chinese twist, we recommend checking out this limited-time offering at The Drawing Room at The St. Regis hotel in partnership with Guerlain, where the French beauty brand’s luxe Chinese New Year collection is put in the spotlight. The stunning French-meets-Chinese elements crafted by chef Hugo Cheng and pastry chef Steven Jin include a savoury twist on the traditional deep-fried black sesame ball in the form of the confit duck jian dui, lobster spring roll, abalone and black truffle tartlet, and a flurry of stunning desserts. We’re most impressed by the Lantern, which creatively combines honey mousse with lemon cream.
The Guerlain Afternoon Tea is priced at HKD478 for one and HKD888 for two. Throughout this promotion, teatime diners will get to take home a Guerlain deluxe beauty gift set. During the Chinese New Year period until Valentine’s Day, guests will instead receive a red packet containing a golden ticket, guaranteeing a special prize courtesy of Guerlain (either a gift pouch or a full-sized product).

The Murray’s Sulwhasoo Secret Garden Afternoon Tea
Garden Lounge at The Murray hotel’s newest teatime partner in crime is leading Korean beauty brand Sulwhasoo, focusing on the hero ingredient of ginseng. Ginseng and egg with salmon roe mini sandwich, Korean pickled cauliflower, celeriac cream, and marigold tart, and ginseng cheesecake mousse are just a few of the Korean-inspired bites to look forward to. A ginseng coffee drink (HKD48) can be added on too.
The hotel itself has transformed a hidden area adjacent to the Peak Tram station into a Sulwhasoo-inspired multisensory garden experience, with amber-hued flowers adorning a wooden cottage and the brand’s signature fragrance, Harmony & Balance, perfuming the air. An Instagram photo contest is also being held in conjunction with this secret garden area, with prizes including a one-night stay at The Murray. Participants need to follow @themurrayhk and @sulwhasoo.hongkong on Instagram, take photos in the garden, and post them on their personal page, sharing “How the First Care Activating Serum touches your heart” and tagging with #SulwhasooHK, #雪花秀, #TheMurrayHK, and #NiccoloHotels.
