St. Regis Singapore Tea Room: A Reimagined Afternoon Tea Ritual

In a city always on the move, the new Tea Room at The St. Regis Singapore offers a rare invitation to pause. Nestled within the hotel’s elegant lobby, this modern garden sanctuary reimagines the classic afternoon tea ritual with a refined blend of heritage, artistry, and locally inspired flavours. With mirrored botanical motifs, champagne tones, and curated comforts, The Tea Room is where slow moments feel sacred, and tea is more than a beverage, it’s a ceremony.

A Sanctuary Inspired by the Botanic Gardens

Designed as a tribute to the nearby Singapore Botanic Gardens, the space blends indoor intimacy with the feel of a verdant escape. Blush pink and sky-blue seating sits beneath gold accents and sculptural arches. Walls of contemporary art and a sky-hued carpet offer visual rhythm, while the mood strikes a quiet balance between timeless and today. Whether for intimate tête-à-têtes or solo moments of calm, The Tea Room is an invitation to exhale.

Redefining the Afternoon Tea Ritual

The Summer Garden Afternoon Tea is a thoughtful evolution of the 19th-century ritual once introduced by Caroline Astor at the original St. Regis New York. Here in Singapore, the experience begins with a glass of sparkling tea and your choice of sustainably sourced brews, poured tableside by a trained tea sommelier.

A classic three-tier stand arrives next, adorned with elegant savouries and delicate patisserie. Highlights include:

• Foie gras on shortbread with raspberry caviar
• Tea-cured salmon mosaic with cream cheese and mango pearls
• Goat cheese tart accented by elderflower and chervil
• Jasmine Citrus creation with mandarin confit and light ganache
• Pistachio financier with strawberry confit and orange compote
• Vanilla macaron and Lime caramel praline for a zesty finish

Freshly baked scones are served warm and in abundance, paired with a quartet of artisanal jams and traditional clotted cream. Prices start from $65++ per guest with a glass of Copenhagen Sparkling Tea, or $95++ with R de Ruinart Brut Champagne.

All-Day Dining, Elevated with Local Soul

Beyond the afternoon ritual, The Tea Room’s à la carte menu reflects Singapore’s culinary heritage through a refined global lens. Local favourites are reimagined with finesse: Chilli Crab Kueh Pie Tee, Rojak Salad, and an indulgent Lobster Laksa that marries tradition and technique. For dessert, creations like the Calamansi Tart and Pandan-Coconut Tiramisu blend nostalgia with novelty.

To complement the cuisine, beverages are curated with care—Taylors of Harrogate teas, Tanamera’s Arabica brews, and an array of Singaporean craft spirits including Brass Lion Gin, Tanglin Gin, and Compendium Spirits. Each pour honours both taste and terroir.

The Patisserie: Everyday Indulgence, Gifting Made Elegant

Opposite The Tea Room sits The Patisserie, a boutique atelier where takeaway meets high craft. Signature whole cakes, petit gateaux and viennoiseries sit behind glass-fronted counters, joined by seasonal salads, artisanal sandwiches, and expertly brewed coffee. Whether for a personal treat or a thoughtful gift, The Patisserie delivers pleasure with poise.
