Think staying in the City of London means all work no play? While that may have once been true, the neighbourhood has flourished into an urban playground and is now home to some of the capital’s finest restaurants, bars and, of course, hotels.

The Square Mile’s most luxurious new hotel, the Pan Pacific London, is now open, welcoming visitors to discover its elegant bedrooms and suites, indulge with fine Singaporean cuisine in its Straits Kitchen restaurant or peruse its world-class Champagne list at the Ginger Lily bar.

Located in bustling Bishopsgate, just a stone’s throw from Liverpool Street station, it’s also the perfect base from which to explore everything the City of London has to offer – that is if you can pull yourself away from its elegant wellness suite, which includes a state-of-the-art gym, infinity pool, sauna, steam room and relaxation pods.

We’ve teamed up with Pan Pacific London to offer one lucky Luxury London reader the chance to be among the first to experience this gorgeous new hotel. You and a guest will be treated to the hotel’s signature indulgent Kopi Tiam afternoon tea, devised by Executive Pastry Chef Cherish Finden and served in the beautiful surrounds of the Orchid Lounge. Named for the traditional Singaporean coffee shops and inspired by Finden’s upbringing in the country, this unique afternoon tea features bao, dim sum and choux, alongside classic scones and exquisite pastries.

Drawing on the rich tea traditions found in Asian cultures, the afternoon tea is accompanied by some of the rarest teas in the world, all selected by the hotel’s dedicated Tea Connoisseur. Of course, there’s also a glass of delicious English Sparkling Wine to turn this opulent event into a real celebration.

This competition has now closed.
