Afternoon Tea Has Never Tasted So Delicious & Bubbly

What could be better than afternoon tea that starts with Rosé Champagne, continues with luxury teas, and ends with caviar paired with ocean views? I can't think of a thing. That's why Oahu’s ultra-luxury boutique hotel, ESPACIO: The Jewel of Waikiki, has put together its own elegant twist on the classic afternoon tea experience. Launching TODAY, Saturday April 13th in partnership with Laurent-Perrier and Tea Leaves, the property’s recently relaunched fine dining restaurant Mugen is transforming its elegant lobby into an elevated tea party.

ESPACIO’s elevated Afternoon Tea will be available every Saturday at 1:00pm for $120 per person. Guests will be greeted with a glass of Laurent Perrier Cuvée Rosé Champagne before being invited to select their own intricately designed teapot. From there, guests will select from several categories—Black, Green, Herbal, Rooibos, Oolong, and White teas—with highlights including an Organic Wild Strawberry Green Tea, a Bulgari Estate Rooibos, Osmanthus Flower Oolong, and the Pantone Color of the Year 2024 Peach Fuzz White Tea. The tea menu also features two unconventional tea offerings—a Manoa Chocolate Tea and 100% Kona Cascara Tea—courtesy of local partners, Manoa Chocolate and Tradition Coffee Roasters.

The teas will be complemented by an afternoon tea menu featuring elevated small bites and pastries including: Elite Reserve Oscietra Caviar with toasted Mallorca bread filled with creme fraiche and chives; Spiny Lobster in a Shokupan roll and smoked trout caviar, black truffle pearls, and house wasabi mayonnaise; Roasted Heirloom Tomato with house Focaccia, olives, and fresh basil; Apple Tart Tatin with caramelized apples and brown butter, crisp shortbread, and English Cheddar; Mililani Chocolate with a 100% Hawaiian Manoa Mililani chocolate cream, caramelized puffed rice and lilikoi; Black Currant Scones with clotted cream and house preserves; and more.

Also be sure to experience the brand new Sunset Champagne & Caviar Hour. This is the perfect setting to take in a legendary Waikiki sunset. ESPACIO guests are invited to soak-in the watercolor sunsets from the privacy of the hotel’s rooftop infinity pool deck, while enjoying champagne and caviar service. The experience offers golden osetra caviar complimented by of crisp champagne, cured egg yolk, chives, crème fraîche, shallots, smoked sturgeon pate, taro chips, and buttermilk blinis.

Lastly, it's highly advisable to consider booking dinner at Mugen, the newly relaunched fine dining restaurant on property. Translating to “infinity” in Japanese, Mugen (pronounced Moo-gen) provides boundless opportunities to delight the senses. The restaurant triumphantly reopened in January 2024, headed by Executive Chef Colin Sato who brings an inspired five course menu that tells a story in every bite. The intimate 34-seat dining room creates the perfect backdrop for a pairing menu, with views of the Pacific cascading light in different shades & colors throughout the restaurant. With 5-Stars from Forbes Travel Guide in 2024 and holding Wine Spectator Best Of-Award Of Excellence in 2023, you know you're about to sit in for a special experience.
