Infused with natural light permeating the room from all sides through skylights and wooden screens, Crystal Bar & Lounge offers a welcoming respite from sightseeing or a busy business day. Elegantly-clad ladies will impart guests with knowledge of the age-old traditions of tea preparation as they choose from 88 selections of world teas kept at the tea apothecary.

Avid shoppers returning from a fruitful shopping trip may relax over a delightful Ritz-Carlton afternoon tea served daily from 3 p.m. till 6 p.m. at RMB288+ per set for two persons, subject to 15% service charge. In the finest “Ritz-Carlton” tradition, indulge in freshly baked English scones served with clotted cream and fruit preserves, smoked salmon roll, savory croissant, egg and shrimp salad on pumpernickel bread, classic cucumber sandwich, and an assortment of pastries, pralines and fresh berries served with your choice of “Ronnefeldt” teas and two glasses of sparkling wine upon arrival.

In the evening, Crystal Bar & Lounge transforms into a sophisticated setting to “see and be seen.” The bar offers a vantage point for guests to unwind with champagne cocktails and innovative martinis under the reflection of the feature design rock crystal glass bar. For a post-dinner get-together with friends or colleagues, a selection of aged ports ends the evening on a memorable note. The evening is ushered in by a three-piece band performing an ambient mix of Jazz pieces from 8 p.m. till midnight.
