Hong Kong: Afternoon tea at Café 103 at The Ritz-Carlton

Afternoon tea at Café 103, the Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong

On my last day in Hong Kong it was pouring down. I had to check out from the hotel at noon, but my flight was not until late evening, and my original plan to go for a walk along the water did not seem very attractive, so I called The Ritz-Carlton in Hong Kong and made a reservation for the afternoon tea at Café 103.

My table was far from the floor-to-ceiling windows, so even though I was on the 103rd floor, I did not have much of a view. Instead, the staff provided me with different kinds of magazines, so I wouldn’t get bored during my afternoon tea for one.

Except for the view (or the lack of it), it was a nice afternoon tea. First, I was asked to pick the tea I wanted to try, and it was more difficult than it sounds with so many different kinds to choose among. After consulting the waiter, who turned out to be very well-versed in teas, I finally decided on the Sakura Sakura tea, which was a green tea with cherry blossoms and a mild, flowery flavor.

The Ritz-Carlton in Hong Kong is known for creative collaborations with chefs and different gourmet brands for the afternoon tea, and when I was there, the menu was made in collaboration with luxury candy store Sugarfina (famous for boozy gummy bears). One of the desserts I had was a champagne cream with strawberry topped with a champagne-infused gummy bear, and it was exquisite. I could have eaten a whole family of those bears:)

It was a nice way to spend the afternoon but next time I go, I will try to get a table with a better view. I did a little online research, and it seems like The Lounge & Bar, which is on the 102nd floor and also serves afternoon tea, has more window tables available, so maybe they are a better choice. Otherwise, there is always Ozone, which is the beautiful bar on the 118th floor at the Ritz-Carlton.

Hotels in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is one of those cities that hits you right away—with its neon lights, narrow alleys, glossy malls, and street food that somehow tastes even better at 2am. And while hotel rooms here tend to be on the smaller side (space is a luxury!), they more than make up for it in location, views, and clever design.

Whether you're staying in Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, or somewhere a bit more local like Sheung Wan or Sai Ying Pun, there’s no shortage of great places to stay. Some come with rooftop pools, some with harbor views, and some just put you right in the middle of the action—which, in Hong Kong, is exactly where you want to be.

Here’s a link to check out hotels in Hong Kong—hope you find a spot that makes you fall in love with the city like I did.
