There’s no better feeling than enjoying a gelato under the heat with a perfect view of the Victoria Harbour. A

From August 4 to September 21, 2025, Regent Hong Kong's Lobby Lounge is hosting Italian Gelato, French Sparkle: A Refined Summer Ritual, a summer afternoon tea collaboration with artisanal gelato brand Lavoratti and champagne house Moët & Chandon.

The Lobby Lounge itself is a cinematic destination that’s framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that offer uninterrupted views of Victoria Harbour and city’s skyline.

The experience continues with a vibrant amuse-bouche: rhubarb and datterino tomato compote layered with burrata foam and tomato powder, a creamy, tangy opener that sets the tone for the afternoon. A quartet of finger sandwiches follows, each crafted with precision and seasonal flair. Guests can savor cage-free egg mimosa with chive and Persava caviar, smoked trout with avocado guacamole and olive pearls, butcher ham with pommery mustard and beetroot pickles, and brie cheese with cucumber, Granny Smith apple, and dill. Each bite offers contrast and harmony, balancing richness with refreshing notes.

Executive Pastry Chef Andy Yeung’s dessert creations are another highlight, as the Mango Pomelo reimagines a tropical favourite with citrus and cream, while the Strawberry Basil dessert adds a herbaceous twist to a classic pairing. The White Peach Oolong pastry marries floral tea aromas with the soft sweetness of summer fruit. Classic scones are served warm with clotted cream, homemade lemon curd, and red fruit jam.

The Lavoratti Frozen Gelato Bonbon brings Italian artistry to the table, with Fior di Latte and Blood Orange flavors encased in crisp chocolate shells. Guests can also enjoy a scoop of gelato or sorbet in a cup, brioche, or waffle, choosing from pistachio, hazelnut, chocolate, mango, or strawberry. A striped gelato cart stationed at The Lobby Lounge adds a whimsical touch, offering also single scoops for spontaneous refreshment on the go.

While regular coffee options are available, there is a selection of Tea by Tea Leaves like herbal tea, black tea, and the seasonal exclusive summer peach tea. Or, to elevate the experience, for HK$130, guests may opt for a nostalgic milkshake in chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry. For a tipsy moment by the sea, for HK$298, guests are recommended to upgrade to two glasses of Moët & Chandon Ice Impérial. With its vibrant fruit character and cooling finish, it’s the perfect toast to a harborfront afternoon.

Served daily, the tea set is priced at HK$888 for two or HK$488 for one, with optional enhancements available. With its blend of culinary artistry, seasonal charm, and sublime views of Victoria Harbour, this summer ritual is a sensory escape that’s both elegant and indulgent.
