Afternoon Tea at The Ritz-Carlton has been a tradition since 1927. Generations of Ladies and Gentlemen have enjoyed this elegant ritual.
In ancient traditions across the world, a freshly brewed pot filled with whole tea leaves is revered as the richest in character. With our afternoon tea, rediscover and celebrate the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be.
Afternoon tea is a luxurious respite from the bustle of modern life; a return to a gentler era. It is a truly memorable experience, and is often a celebration of life’s milestones.
To complement the fine surroundings of Silver Palm Lounge, the tea is served on fine Wedgwood china, decorated in the delicate “India” pattern. Every detail of the service and its presentation has been attended to with the highest care to ensure that each experience here becomes a treasured memory.
“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea”
–Henry James
