Renowned as one of Wellington's finest, it's a unique indulgence to savour amidst our hotel's grace, surrounded by friends and loved ones.

Autumn Harvest High TeaA Plate Of Food

As the air turns crisp and golden hues settle over the city, retreat to the Lobby Lounge for our Autumn Harvest High Tea, a seasonal celebration of comfort, flavour, and quiet indulgence.

Inspired by the richness of an abundant autumnal harvest, this carefully crafted menu brings together warming savouries like Clevedon buffalo curd profiteroles with pistachio, beef Bourguignon tart, and roast pork finger sandwiches with Braeburn sauce. Freshly baked maple and pecan scones are served with mandarin and Earl Grey cream, followed by a decadent selection of sweets - from black forest mousse with cherry and Kirsch, to spiced pumpkin cheesecake and delicate Granny Smith tarte tatin.

Pair your afternoon with a soul-warming tea blend or sip on mulled wine or a cinnamon-spiced cocktail as you settle into the season’s slower rhythm.

Available from the 16th May for a limited time. Reservations are recommended.
