This summer, The Lana, Dorchester Collection’s newest jewel in Dubai, invites guests to a tranquil afternoon steeped in elegance at The Gallery—its light-filled lobby lounge where refined tradition meets contemporary indulgence. From May 2nd to August 31st, The Gallery presents a seasonal ode to British Afternoon Tea, offering a serene, sun-drenched escape with sweeping views of Burj Khalifa and the heart of downtown Dubai.
The setting is nothing short of sublime. Soaring ceilings, gently arched windows, and the soft notes of live piano music create a sanctuary of calm. As the sun glints off glass façades outside, indoors, a curated three-course afternoon tea experience unfolds, blending timeless flavours with a fresh, summery twist.
The Summer Afternoon Tea menu begins with an exquisite selection of finger sandwiches—think Coronation Chicken, Truffle Egg, Cucumber & Cream Cheese, and tender Slow-Roasted Wagyu Beef—each bite a harmony of delicate textures and bold flavours. Warm, freshly baked scones follow, both plain and studded with raisins, served with Devonshire clotted cream and signature jams by world-renowned pastry chef Angelo Musa.
But it’s the patisserie that truly captures the spirit of summer. Indulgent creations such as the silky Chocolate Ganache Tart, the artfully composed Paris-Brest, and the Exotic Financier elevate the tea experience into a culinary journey. Each dessert is a reflection of Musa’s refined technique and imaginative artistry, perfect for lingering indulgence.
In true Dorchester fashion, the tea pairings are no afterthought. An expansive selection of premium teas complements each course, while an interactive iced tea feature invites guests to explore chilled infusions crafted for Dubai’s warm days—an elegant nod to the season.
For those seeking an added flourish, guests can opt to enhance their afternoon with a chilled glass of Wild Idol Rosé or NV Pol Roger Champagne, making it a celebration as much as an escape.
Whether you’re entertaining visitors, marking a special moment, or simply indulging in a few hours of refined solitude, the Summer Afternoon Tea at The Gallery is a luxurious ritual worth carving time for.
