Niccolo Chongqing
Hotel news | Dining, 25 September 2023
Inspired by Niccolo Polo - the father of Marco Polo, the legendary 13th century world explorer and merchant - the name "Niccolo" is a perfect illustration of his bold and undaunted spirit. Niccolo Chongqing also incorporates the work of world-renowned designers and artists, masterfully combining traditional and contemporary artwork in a modern, elegantly designed lounge with breath-taking views, providing guests with a stylish afternoon tea experience. The Tea Lounge at Niccolo is the perfect place to take a break from shopping with friends.
The co-branded afternoon tea is inspired by Montblanc's theme of “The Library Spirit”, where one walks into a library, shuttles between imagination and inspiration, turns the pages of a book, and experiences the timeless power of words. Johnny Xu, Pastry Chef at Niccolo Chongqing, drew upon Montblanc's iconic fern blue colour scheme and its classic six-pointed white star logo to create a unique and modern afternoon tea. Desserts include Blueberry Macaroons with fresh blueberry filling and crunchy almond cake; Inspiration Grapefruit chocolates for a refreshing summer and autumn flavour; Inspiration Grapefruit Pear Cake; seasonal mandarin oranges paired with Valrhona's Apache chocolates for a refreshing, woodsy orange tart; as well as balancing salty foie gras with blueberry sauce and fresh crab salad with baby tomatoes. At the top of the mountain city, 300 metres above the skyline, you can enjoy afternoon tea with your friends and loved ones, listen to beautiful music, savour fashionable desserts and classic coffee, and enjoy magnificent views of the river from the towering windows, all of which make The Tea Lounge a stylish gathering place for fashionistas.
"The Library Spirit" themed Afternoon Tea is priced at RMB 388* including two cups of coffee or tea of your choice, and RMB 558* including two glasses of Niccolo Prosecco, with a voucher for a branded gift to be presented at the Montblanc Boutique at 2F in IFS Chongqing while supplies last. The offers will be served daily from 12:00pm to 6:00pm at The Tea Lounge on the 62nd floor of Niccolo Chongqing.
