Empire casts a long shadow, and one of the best things it left behind is the leisurely past-time of high tea. The Tiffin lounge returns guests to this age-old tradition, back to when an afternoon tea was called a “tiffin,” suggesting light bites and strong tea taken over a leisurely mid-day sojourn. This beautiful lounge at the Grand Hyatt, just a floor above the lobby, has a stunning view of the Victoria Harbour and the Central skyline, completely unobstructed through towering ceiling-to-floor windows. It’s colonial grandeur with a view of the modern Asian city outside, with lovely garden accents that make this a perfect mid-day meeting spot or a quiet getaway from the Hong Kong hubbub.

What’s for tea? Sumptuous light bites, both sweet and savoury, like sandwiches, petit fours, pastries, and even freshly-made waffles with ice cream. Think rustic French charcuterie, rillettes and pates over crusty baguettes, flaky tarts, sugary croquembouche, hot Chinese bites, and fresh cold seafood. In the evening, the space turns into a buffet restaurant, and on Sundays, bubbly flows like a fountain during its elegant champagne brunch. One of Hong Kong’s favourite afternoon tea spots, with an unmissable view of the city, come while away an afternoon at Tiffin. (Jan 2017)
