Five placesChecked 25 October 2026Prices in AED
Five hotels, five teas, one table of prices. The lowest is AED 160 at Palace Downtown. The highest, with a glass of champagne, is AED 420 at the Four Seasons on Jumeirah Beach. Every price here is per person and comes from the hotel's own page, checked on 25 October.
Two things to read before booking. The Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons prices include VAT and fees. The Ritz-Carlton also takes an AED 110 deposit a head when booking, which comes off the bill.
Burj Al Arab is not on the list. Its official menu returned an error when we checked, and we don't print a price we can't confirm.
Hours and prices change. Check with the venue before you go.
