Hilton Nagoya (Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture; General Manager Ann Kang) will hold a limited-time summer event, the “Summer Sweets Buffet,” which combines traditional Korean sweets and the latest trending sweets, from Friday, May 15 to Sunday, September 13, 2026, at the 1st floor all-day dining “InPlace 3-3.”
The theme for this summer’s sweets buffet series, which attracts high attention every season at Hilton Nagoya, is “Eat, Refresh, Thrill.” Korean sweets, which are popular for their pop colors and Instagrammable visuals, have been re-imagined with the rich experience and techniques of our pastry chef, resulting in authentic sweets that balance both appearance and taste, moving beyond fleeting trends.
The venue will feature a total of 16 types of sweets, including “Bingsu,” a Korean shaved ice served freshly scraped at a live station, sweets arranged from traditional Korean confections like Yakgwa and Songpyeon, and trending sweets popular on social media such as Croffles, cup Tiramisu, and fruit sandwiches using Greek yogurt. Focusing not only on taste but also on visual appeal and experiential value, this summer sweets buffet aims to disseminate new dessert trends, reflecting the “current mood.”
The “Summer Afternoon Tea,” developed under the same theme, refreshes its serving style. Carefully selected items from the buffet sweets are beautifully arranged on plates adorned with fresh herbs and served individually. Surrounded by natural colors and aromas, guests can enjoy a tranquil time with vitamin-rich fruit sweets, experiencing an afternoon tea that “refreshes” the mind.
Furthermore, this time, customers who use the afternoon tea will receive one random sheet mask from “Abib,” a natural skincare brand originating from Korea. From enjoying sweets to self-care at home, Hilton Nagoya proposes a new, hotel-specific afternoon tea experience for those with high beauty awareness and trend sensitivity.
