Bvlgari Hotel London collaborates with sculptural artist Hannah Lim
Bvlgari Hotel London introduces a striking new collaboration with sculptural artist Hannah Lim, featuring a bespoke afternoon tea and a transformative redesign of the hotel’s façade.
Hannah Lim x Bvlgari Hotel London Afternoon Tea
Bvlgari Hotel London unveils a fresh and innovative afternoon tea experience in collaboration with emerging sculptural artist Hannah Lim. Known for her unique mix of modern design and traditional elements, Lim has redesigned the classic afternoon tea and transformed the hotel’s façade into a striking piece of art. The launch of the Hannah Lim x Bvlgari Hotel London Afternoon Tea will coincide with the renowned London Design Festival, celebrating the city’s vibrant design scene.
Hannah Lim’s work draws from her cultural background, reinterpreting traditional styles such as Chinoiserie and Orientalism. Her designs merge sculpture, installation, and drawing in a playful yet refined manner. For this collaboration, Lim has created whimsical afternoon tea stands inspired by Asian mythology, complemented by matching linens. The hotel’s façade will also showcase Lim’s distinctive style through a bold geometric pattern.

The afternoon tea menu, crafted by Executive Pastry Chef Salvatore Mungiovino in collaboration with Lim, features a fusion of Asian and European flavours. Guests will enjoy pastries inspired by Lim’s designs, including La Fiamma, a cocoa sponge with jasmine tea ganache, and Il Pavone, a matcha sponge with mango and lime compote.
The Hannah Lim x Bvlgari Hotel London Afternoon Tea will be available from September in The Bvlgari Lounge, with prices starting at £90 per person.
