HOTA SIGNATURE HIGH TEA
The palette high tea is back: but this time, it’s a little elevated. Join us on level 5 of the HOTA Gallery, overlooking the stunning Gold Coast city skyline and immerse your senses in our HOTA signature High Tea.
Sip on Tavalon tea - or maybe a glass of Perrier-Jouet Champagne, if that’s more your style - set alongside a collection of sweet and savoury treats, carefully curated by our very own Executive Chef Dayan Hartill-Law.
Experience the difference while you soak in the sites, delve into the arts and savour exquisite, handcrafted flavours.
Seats are extremely limited.
