Park Hyatt Sydney
The Park Hyatt Sydney is credited world-wide as being a 5-star experience and our most recent visit to indulge in its new afternoon tea menu proved exactly why. They’ve turned the more traditional high tea on its head, but it’s that good we don’t think anyone will object – we certainly didn’t! Gone is the silver stand in the middle of the table, replaced with a grazing style menu of 11 petite dishes which are grouped together and served to the table over seven different courses. It’s an experience not unlike a fine dining degustation.

Sailmaker & Jackalberry Cocktail Bar, Hyatt Regency Sydney
Tucked away on vibrant Sussex St in Sydney’s Darling Harbour precinct is the Hyatt Regency. Its restaurant – Sailmaker – is named so to reflect the area’s sail-making history since the 1800s. High Tea at Sailmaker is served on the traditional 3-tiered stand and is all about sophistication and elegance. There’s another High Tea menu in the Jackalberry Cocktail Bar, here the Traveller’s High Tea takes diners on an epicurean adventure that combines flavours from around the world with Mr Black coffee cocktails.

The Langham, Sydney
Serving ribbon sandwiches, light and fluffy scones and dainty petit fours on a three-tiered stand, the detailed assortments are a delight to the eyes as they are to nibble. Indulge in a lime crème brulèe while sipping a Dragon eyes jasmine or The Langham’s masala chai. The baby grand piano and leather armchairs will make you feel like you’re at a private club. This Mother’s Day, The Langham, Sydney hosts an extra special event with internationally celebrated fashion illustrator Kerrie Hess.
