The Tim Tam Checks Into the Park Hyatt. And It’s Bringing Friends.
One of Sydney’s best high teas.
The humble Tim Tam has come a long way from the supermarket biscuit aisle. Its latest address is the rather swanky Park Hyatt Sydney, where it will be spending the summer rubbing shoulders with champagne, Chantilly cream and people who probably don’t dunk their biscuits in tea.
From December 4, 2026, to February 28, 2027, the hotel is bringing back its popular Tim Tam Afternoon Tea, an extravaganza that takes some of Australia’s favourite childhood treats and gives them a rather glamorous makeover.
The Tim Tam Mangoes & Cream Pavlova
And what a makeover it is. The Tim Tam Mangoes & Cream Pavlova combines that most Australian of summer desserts with mango, Chantilly cream and lime, while the Iced Vovo Éclair is a considerably more sophisticated relative of the pink-and-white biscuit that has graced Australian lunchboxes for generations. This version comes with raspberry jam, choux pastry and coconut.
The Tim Tam Chewy Caramel Sandwich
Then there’s the Tim Tam Chewy Caramel Sandwich, a deliciously wicked combination of chocolate biscuit and caramel ganache. And for those who fancy something a little more delicate, the Peach & Rose Roll offers white peach marmalade and rose Chantilly.
Buttermilk scones with Tim Tam spread
Traditional buttermilk scones also make an appearance, alongside malt and vanilla cream beignets served with whipped vanilla mascarpone, seasonal jam and Tim Tam spread.
The Tim Tam Iced Vovo Bellini
The hotel’s mixologists have also been getting into the biscuit tin. The Tim Tam Iced Vovo Bellini combines Tanica, peach and raspberry purée, aquafaba and sparkling wine, finished with shredded coconut. It’s $28, as is the Tim Tam Espresso Martini, which blends vodka, cold brew coffee, espresso, vanilla liqueur and chocolate syrup.
Iced Vovo Mocktail
For those who prefer their afternoon tea without the possibility of needing a taxi home, there’s a $19 Iced Vovo Mocktail featuring peach and raspberry purée, coconut and soda.
At $115 per person, this is certainly a considerable step up from a packet of Tim Tams and a cup of tea at the kitchen bench. But then, the kitchen bench rarely comes with views of Sydney Harbour and an éclair wearing an Iced Vovo disguise.
The Tim Tam Afternoon Tea runs Friday to Sunday, from 1pm to 4pm, excluding Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
The Tim Tam Slam
And while Australians have spent decades perfecting the Tim Tam Slam, the Park Hyatt has rather more ambitious plans for our national biscuit.
Somewhere, a packet of Arnott’s is feeling terribly underdressed.
Details: December 4, 2026 – February 28, 2027. From $115 per person. Bookings and information at Park Hyatt Sydney Afternoon Tea.
