Looking for a Venue for a Christmas Catch-Up with Friends? Head Southside to Le Méridien Cyberport

It’s perfect for group gatherings over the holiday period, with numerous dining options including a bubbly festive tea and a Japanese tasting menu with sake…

For those of you not familiar with Le Méridien Cyberport, it’s worth getting acquainted. This urban resort is a little haven on the south side of the island. Surrounded by greenery, it feels incredibly tranquil and is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a few hours. Here’s a summary of what’s on offer over the festive period and don’t forget if you book before Monday, 17 December you’ll get 10% off!

Let’s start with Prompt’s festive afternoon tea which is perfect for a Christmas catch up with the girls (we recommend going for the package that includes a bottle of Mumm Rosé champagne for some added sparkle). The sweet treats are presented in their very own snow globe, making them perfect for picture-taking. We also like that the savoury snacks (which include truffle and wild mushroom muffins and savoury eclairs with figs and bayonne ham) are a bit more inventive than regular finger sandwiches. And the vanilla pistachio mousse cake is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

When: Available until Monday, 31 December from 3pm – 5pm
How much: $398 for 2 people including 2 cups of Illy coffee or selected tea; $498 for 2 people including 2 glasses of sparkling or red/white wine; $888 for 2 people including one bottle of G.H. Mumm Rosé
