The world’s most elevated culinary escapes to experience this season

The Peninsula Paris
Golden Hour Cocktails Above the Paris Skyline

Open exclusively during spring and summer, Le Rooftop at The Peninsula Paris remains one of the city’s most coveted warm-weather culinary destinations. Suspended above Paris with sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur Basilica, the rooftop lounge transforms “Golden Hour” into an immersive gastronomic ritual this season.

In partnership with The Macallan, the hotel unveils an elevated cocktail programme inspired by the newly launched Distil Your World Paris whisky collection. Signature serves such as the Parisian Breeze and Amber Sky pair seamlessly with refined seasonal plates by award-winning Chef David Bizet and Pastry Chef Anne Coruble.

Highlights include flame-grilled lobster rolls with Sauce Américaine, brioche layered with Bellota ham and peach-tomato chutney, alongside indulgent desserts like molten gianduja cookies with peanut ice cream. Combined with Belle Époque-inspired music, blooming rose shrubs and sunset city views, Le Rooftop captures the romance and conviviality of a Parisian summer at its finest.
Cheval Blanc Paris
A Bucolic Summer Escape Above the City

High above the Parisian skyline, Le Jardin at Cheval Blanc Paris reimagines the urban terrace as a lush summer sanctuary. Spread across a 650-square-metre rooftop garden, the seasonal dining destination offers a slower, sun-soaked experience inspired by the nostalgia of European summer holidays.

Chef William Béquin’s menu celebrates bright seasonal flavours through dishes such as colourful tomato tarts and grilled octopus finished with Galician vierge sauce and semi-confit tomatoes. Meanwhile, Pastry Chef Maxime Frédéric brings playful indulgence to the experience with signature sundaes in flavours like strawberry, chocolate and skyr, or raspberry and pistachio.

With blooming hydrangeas, aromatic herbs, postcard-adorned tables and cheerful Riviera-inspired décor, Le Jardin feels less like a hotel terrace and more like a hidden summer retreat tucked above the city’s rooftops.
The Lanesborough
Whisky, Florals & Chelsea Flower Show Elegance

Timed with London’s iconic Chelsea Flower Show, The Lanesborough introduces an immersive seasonal cocktail activation in partnership with Fettercairn at The Garden Room Terrace.

Inspired by the Highland distillery’s botanical installation The Angel’s Share, the experience bridges the craftsmanship of whisky-making with the beauty of Scottish flora. Guests can savour limited-edition cocktails such as the herbaceous Ghost Garden and the fruit-forward Highland Bramble, each designed to evoke the freshness and floral spirit of spring.

Set against the elegant backdrop of Knightsbridge and Hyde Park, the terrace experience offers a sophisticated pause amid one of London’s most celebrated cultural moments, blending horticulture, mixology and luxury hospitality into one refined seasonal experience.
The Peninsula London
Afternoon Tea Inspired by Belgravia in Bloom

Celebrating London’s floral season, The Peninsula London presents Peninsula in Bloom Afternoon Tea — a seasonal culinary offering inspired by Belgravia’s annual floral displays. Served within the hotel’s elegant Lobby, the experience elevates the timeless ritual of afternoon tea through garden-inspired flavours and refined presentation.

The menu features delicate savouries including spring pea tartlets, crayfish cocktail brioche, smoked salmon with horseradish and tarragon mayonnaise, alongside beautifully plated desserts such as rhubarb petal tartlets, white peony lemon meringue creations and chocolate rose délice.

An extensive tea programme spanning rare Chinese white teas, Darjeeling, Japanese sencha and artisanal tisanes further enhances the experience, creating a refined seasonal pause in the heart of London.
Capella Bangkok
The World’s Best Hotel for Food & Drink

Recently named Best Global Hotel for Food & Drink in Food & Wine’s 2026 Global Tastemakers Awards, Capella Bangkok continues to cement its position as one of the world’s leading culinary destinations.

Set along the Chao Phraya River, the hotel’s gastronomic identity is shaped through four distinct dining experiences that celebrate both Thai heritage and global culinary craftsmanship. At two-Michelin-starred Côte by Mauro Colagreco, Riviera-inspired cuisine meets refined riverside dining, while Phra Nakhon champions authentic regional Thai recipes crafted from locally sourced produce and ingredients from the hotel’s own greenhouse.

Elsewhere, Stella cocktail bar reinterprets Bangkok’s neighbourhood flavours through contemporary mixology, while the Tea Lounge offers a serene riverside setting for elevated afternoon tea experiences inspired by Asian tea traditions.

Together, these culinary spaces reflect Capella Bangkok’s immersive approach to hospitality — one that connects guests to the city’s evolving food culture through thoughtful storytelling, artistry and a strong sense of place.
Trisara Phuket
Destination-Led Gastronomy by the Andaman Sea

Set within a protected nature reserve overlooking the Andaman Sea, Trisara Phuket continues to champion one of Asia’s most compelling culinary narratives through immersive, destination-led dining experiences deeply rooted in Southern Thailand.

This season, Trisara introduces a new chapter in its gastronomic programming with French Gathering by the Sea — an exclusive culinary collaboration between Chef Franck le Bayon of Bangkok’s iODE and Trisara’s Chef Notty Worawit at La Crique. Blending coastal French influences with refined technique and local ingredients, the one-day experience unfolds against the serene backdrop of the Andaman coastline on 12 June 2026.

Beyond headline collaborations, Trisara’s weekly culinary calendar continues to celebrate regional flavours through thoughtfully curated experiences including the Phuket Street Food Feast at MICHELIN-recognised Thai Library, Spice Road Night at Cielo & Spice, the Japanese Meets French Chef Table at La Crique, and the resort’s signature Sunday Brunch overlooking the sea.

For oenophiles, the resort’s hidden Wine Cellar offers guided tastings and masterclasses spotlighting rare Thai and international labels, while Michelin-starred PRU continues to elevate Thailand’s finest seasonal produce through contemporary fine dining artistry.

Complemented by wellness experiences at JARA Wellness and immersive stays under the A Taste of Trisara offering, the property presents a slower, deeply considered approach to luxury travel where gastronomy, wellbeing and destination intersect seamlessly.
