Drawing inspiration from Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2026, Cloud Dancer, The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi introduces a Daydream Afternoon Tea experience at Conservatory that celebrates lightness, calm, and conscious indulgence. Rather than a literal interpretation, the experience captures the essence of Cloud Dancer through flavor, texture, and mood, aligning seamlessly with Westin’s global wellness philosophy.

The color story is echoed in the presentation, with airy tones, soft layers, and cloud-like forms that mirror the calm elegance associated with Cloud Dancer. Pastries take on a soothing, sensory-led narrative, with each creation clearly defined by flavor and form. The chamomile and lemon flower layers chamomile ganache, lemon confit, honey crémeux, and light lemon sponge, bringing together floral calm and gentle citrus brightness. An Earl Grey ‘cloud’ combines jasmine sponge with aromatic Earl Grey, passion fruit confit, and smooth vanilla custard, offering an uplifting yet balanced tea-led profile. The peach éclair pairs fresh peach gel with soft ricotta cream for a light, refreshing bite, while the vanilla cloud dome features clear jelly, vanilla pain de gêne, vanilla croustillant, vanilla ganache and crémeux, delivering a comforting, cloud-like indulgence. A delicate jasmine and coconut verrine layers coconut gel, raspberry croustillant, jasmineinfused ganache, and coconut sponge for a softly floral finish. Freshness continues with a wild berries’ choux, filled with wild berries and balsamic preserves and finished with mint crémeux, balancing sweetness with herbal lift. Warmer, grounding notes come through in the orange and cinnamon hot air balloon, combining orange confit, orange crémeux, cinnamon ganache, walnut streusel, and cinnamon sponge. The selection concludes with a hibiscus macaron, adding a final floral touch with subtle tartness and vibrant color.

The savory selection complements the experience with elegant, light bites crafted using premium ingredients and gentle seasoning, ensuring a smooth transition from savory to sweet without overwhelming the palate. A curated tea selection, featuring both classic blends and calming herbal infusions, completes the ritual, inviting guests to unwind and reconnect. Set within Conservatory at The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi’s refined lounge space, the experience is framed by an atmosphere of understated elegance. Known for its timeless interiors, relaxed luxury, and all-day appeal, Conservatory serves as a natural setting for an afternoon tea that prioritizes comfort, conversation, and ease. Inspired by the essence of Cloud Dancer, this afternoon tea reflects The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi’s commitment to wellbeing-led dining, offering a modern interpretation of a classic tradition where guests leave feeling lighter, restored, and quietly indulged.
