Delivering the finest South East Asian hospitality the capital has to offer, the luxury Pan Pacific Hotel London is a must for those looking to toast to fruitful new beginnings, offering special menus at two of its onsite restaurants. Ideally situated in the heart of the City, the hotel is running a unique afternoon tea in partnership with Diptyque in The Orchid Lounge, and a wonderful Chinese New Year Feasting at Straits Kitchen.

Having launched on 4th January and available all the way through to 27th March, the Lunar New Year Afternoon Tea with Diptyque is set to offer a delectable candlelit Afternoon Tea, magically served in a beautiful birdcage. Known for her show-stopping patisserie, the menu is inspired by the luxury brand’s orange and orange blossom scent, with Seasonal patisseries such as a mandarin and white chocolate mousse with orange marmalade, as well as Chinese savoury choices such as crispy wonton with aromatic duck and tofu.

Afternoon Tea can be enjoyed with a choice of tea from The Rare Tea Company, or The Orchid Lounge’s Bespoke Blend – a perfect mix of Loose Leaf Indian & Malawian Black Tea, Chinese Oolong Tea and Indian Rose Petals. Each guest enjoying the limited-edition afternoon tea will be given a red card or ‘hóngbāo’ to write their hopes and dreams for the year ahead on, before attaching it to the tree.

Chinese New Year Feasting at Straits Kitchen will run on Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd January. On Saturday, guests can enjoy a celebratory four-course sharing dinner, whilst on Sunday a family-sharing feast will be available. Guests will also have the opportunity to opt-in for 2 hours of unlimited wine to accompany their meal. In addition, from 23rd – 31st January 2023, enjoy a three-course set lunch menu or four-course set dinner menu, each showcasing Straits Kitchen’s unique Singaporean-style cuisine with an added Lunar New Year flair.
