In today’s dining scene, it’s no longer just about what’s on the plate—it’s about the story, the atmosphere, the theatre. Around the globe, immersive dining experiences are redefining how we enjoy food, blending culinary artistry with technology, storytelling, and performance. From Tokyo to Dubai, these unforgettable meals stimulate all the senses.

Here are five of the world’s most extraordinary immersive dining experiences—and one of them is right here at our hotel.

1.Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet - Shanghai, China

A pioneer in multi-sensory dining, Ultraviolet seats just 10 guests per night in a hidden, high-tech dining room. Chef Paul Pairet pairs 20+ courses with synchronized lights, scents, visuals, and music, turning every dish into a theatrical production.

2. Sublimotion - Ibiza, Spain

Described as the most expensive dining experience in the world, Sublimotion fuses haute cuisine with immersive virtual reality and performance art. Each course is served in a dramatically transformed room, from an underwater scene to a futuristic dreamscape.

3. Dining in the Dark - Worldwide

Offered in cities around the globe, this concept removes one of your senses entirely: sight. Diners eat in complete darkness, enhancing the taste, smell, and texture of every dish while also building empathy for those who live without vision.

4. The Banquet of Hoshena - Worldwide

This imaginative dinner combines 3D visual projections, storytelling, and illusion to transport diners to a fantasy land ruled by a mystical queen. Think enchanted forests, magical creatures, and dishes that mirror the emotions of the narrative.

5. Le Petit Chef & Friends - Hyatt Place Melbourne Caribbean Park, Melbourne

Now, you don’t have to travel far to experience the future of dining. Le Petit Chef and his friends, the world’s smallest chefs, has landed right here at our hotel.

Using cutting-edge 3D projection mapping, this immersive dining show brings not just one—but a whole cast of animated chefs—onto your table. Each character adds their own personality and flair to the multi-course experience. Watch as Le Petit Chef and his entertaining companions cook, compete, and collaborate in delightful miniature performances, all perfectly synced with your meal.

It’s a full sensory journey that’s equal parts theatre, technology, and gourmet dining—perfect for families, date nights, group celebrations, and curious foodies alike.
