The Tea Lounge is just the answer when you need a quiet place to meet a colleague or spend a few minutes alone. You’ll savour the calm ambiance and the view of the pool along with coffee, homemade cakes and pastries, a light buffet and, of course, tea. The exotic selection was handpicked especially for the hotel and includes unique varieties such as Mango, Lemongrass, Lemon, Assam and the ever-popular Darjeeling.

As the rhythm of the day slows to an easy evening tempo, businesspeople, travellers, couples and groups of friends begin gathering in the Lounge and Bar. Gracious colonial décor and manicured gardens just beyond the windows set a classic tone, but the service is casual and a live band during the week keeps things upbeat. Premium spirits, creative snacks and signature cocktails including the Amrodtini and the Curock come from behind the bar until late.
