A Quintessential Indulgence

The InterContinental High Tea Experience

Step into the timeless tradition of Afternoon Tea, a delightful ritual credited to Anna Russell, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, who sought to curb her hunger between lunch and dinner in 1840. Embrace our reimagined High Tea at InterContinental Wellington, a creatively elegant experience set in the cosmopolitan charm of The Lobby Lounge. 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.

Whispers of Winter

Inspired by the quiet beauty and richness of winter, this refined high tea experience showcases a thoughtfully curated menu of savoury delicacies and indulgent sweets—from truffled egg tea sandwiches and prawn toast with gin caviar to chestnut tart, elderflower mousse, and freshly baked scones.
