Hyatt Centric Victoria Harbour Hong Kong has announced an upscale collaboration with local matcha specialist Matchali, launching a limited-time weekend afternoon tea at Cruise Restaurant & Bar starting March 28, 2026. This immersive experience combines high-end Japanese gastronomy with leisure, offering guests premium savory delights, unlimited sweets, and complimentary access to the hotel’s iconic rooftop infinity pool. Designed for both culinary enthusiasts and photography lovers, the promotion also features a social media giveaway with luxury stays in Kyoto, Tokyo, and Kanazawa up for grabs.
A Fusion of Premium Kyoto Matcha and Gourmet Savories
At the heart of this collaboration is the use of ceremonial-grade matcha sourced directly from a fifth-generation tea farm in Kyoto. The culinary team has meticulously integrated these earthy notes into a sophisticated menu that balances traditional Japanese flavors with modern luxury.
The savory selection features decadent highlights such as A4 Wagyu Katsu Sandos served on matcha-infused milk bread and Tuna Tartare elevated with hojicha miso cream and Oscietra caviar. Other notable bites include Foie Gras Tiramisu and Iberico Pork Croquettes, ensuring a meal that feels as indulgent as it is refined.
On the sweeter side, the Matcha Mochi Swiss Roll offers a chewy, textural contrast to the bitterness of the tea. Other patisserie items include a zesty Matcha Yuzu Tart and house-made Hojicha Scones.
Unlimited Indulgence and Rooftop Relaxation
Setting this tea service apart is the “all-you-can-eat” element. Guests can enjoy unlimited servings of freshly made Red Bean Taiyaki paired with hojicha cream and seasonal ice cream. To accompany the feast, diners can choose between a traditional hand-whisked Matchali latte or a crisp glass of Prosecco.
Beyond the dining table, each afternoon tea set includes a complimentary three-hour pass to the hotel’s rooftop infinity pool. Valid from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM on the day of dining, the pass provides access to changing facilities, steam rooms, and saunas, allowing guests to soak in the panoramic Victoria Harbour skyline before heading to Cruise for their meal.
