Partner Content: At SLS Dubai Hotel & Residences, warm tea and dainty treats come with a side of the city skyline.
As a city, we love afternoon tea with a novelty factor. We’ve dined on cucumber sandwiches and scones with clotted cream deep in the dunes, amidst 65,000 marine animals, aboard an abra, and even at a floating table hanging from a crane. But some days simply call for a chic afternoon tea affair, one that promises delicious nibbles and striking views – enter: SLS Dubai Hotel & Residences.
Located in the heart of Downtown Dubai, the 75-storey property invites guests to S Bar, where the British tradition takes over its art deco setting. Here, you can expect to dine on sweet and savoury treats served alongside artisanal tea and spectacular sky-high views of the city. For the uninitiated, S Bar is situated in the elegant Sky Lobby on the 71st floor. Surrounded by opulent furnishings in a tranquil setting, guests will be welcomed with a refreshing mocktail upon their arrival. To commence the afternoon tea journey, sweet and savoury treats are served on a decadent three-tier baroque-style chandelier stand, a bespoke design especially for SLS Dubai.
Whilst free-flowing tea is being poured, guests can enjoy a classic assortment of finely cut sandwiches and savoury bites of Cucumber and Cream Cheese Sandwiches, Foie Gras Tart, and Mini Beef Pastrami Sandwiches. The confectionery menu includes a selection of dainty desserts – Valrhona Chocolate Tart, Salted Caramel Mille Feuilles, and Praline Feuillantine Finger included. Sharing-style brioche, kouglof, and a selection of tarts are served to the table alongside storied teatime favourites like freshly baked warm scones with lashings of clotted cream, jam, and butter alongside a selection of macarons.
Starting at AED 195 per person (inclusive of tea, water and a mocktail on arrival), this dining experience can be elevated with the option to add a glass of fizz for an additional AED 55. The afternoon tea at S Bar is served daily from 3pm to 6pm – and fit for royalty.
