JW Marriott’s afternoon tea partnership with Finnish design house Marimekko has proved so popular that the collab has been extended throughout spring.

Traditional Nordic flavours are on show in the savouries, such as the Scandinavian shrimp salad and tobiko tart and pickled herring fillet with onion-dill salad. The beautifully crafted sweets take their cues from the muted pastel colour palette of Marimekko’s latest home collection.

The seasonal multi-course afternoon tea sets at Hotel ICON’s lobby lounge GREEN often take a health-conscious approach as summer approaches.
