Transporting guests to Japan’s captivating lavender fields, the new seasonal afternoon tea celebrates the blooming beauty and refreshing flavours of summer
The Okura Prestige Bangkok invites guests to embrace the warmth and radiance of the summer season with its enchanting new “Hana Afternoon Tea.” Launching on 1 July 2026 at Up & Above Restaurant and Bar, this vibrant experience captures the very soul of Japan’s legendary summer flower season. The presentation takes its name from ‘Hana,’ the Japanese word for flower, and draws direct inspiration from the rolling lavender fields of Hokkaido in full bloom. It offers guests an exquisite escape where sophisticated city living meets the captivating, sun-drenched beauty of nature. Every element has been meticulously designed to evoke a sense of summery wanderlust, making it the ultimate destination for an elegant afternoon rendezvous.
The culinary narrative unfolds through a series of masterfully crafted delicacies that mirror the lively hues of a summer garden. The sophisticated savoury course opens with a unique combination of ‘Lanna Longan,’ savoury Furikake, and creamy Mascarpone; followed by an elegant ‘Organic Beetroot Jam’ enhanced with vegan onion cream and honey. Guests will also discover a refreshing ‘Tom Kah Mousse’ elegantly paired with Kuro Ebiko in a crisp tartlet; alongside an interactive, texture-rich ‘Taberu Niboshi’ with ginger gel served inside a delicate Panipuri. This harmonious blend of local inspiration and Japanese precision sets a luxurious tone for the afternoon.
The sweet tier is a visual masterpiece, celebrating the vibrant purples and pastel tones of the blossoming season. Guests can indulge in a bright, zesty ‘Lemon Poppy Seed Roll;’ a velvety ‘Blueberry Cheesecake;’ and a delicately sculpted ‘Exotic Pavlova.’ Celebrating the floral notes of summer, the pastry team has created aromatic ‘Chamomile Namelaka Cookies;’ and signature ‘Yuzu Lavender Scones’ that evoke the fragrance of a real lavender field. The decadent journey concludes with nutty ‘Purple Sweet Potato & Black Sesame Macarons;’ a refreshing ‘Blackcurrant Yogurt;’ a deeply comforting ‘Taro Mochi Chocolate Tart;’ and a luxurious ‘Chocolate Hojicha Banoffee Bon Bon.’
The “Hana Afternoon Tea” offers a captivating sanctuary of flavour and refinement, surrounded by the hotel’s signature panoramic views of the Bangkok skyline. It is priced at Baht 2,200++ per set of two persons.
