Why travel across the pond for high tea when you can have the same lovely experience right in Los Angeles?
It’s time to start romanticizing your life and enjoy English teatime at the The Maybourne in Beverly Hills. Collaborating with its sister hotel from London, Claridge's, Maybourne delivers an exclusive teatime open to the public from April 23 to 30.
The Maybourne is overjoyed to welcome their sister hotel to help them with the endeavor, especially since Claridge's is renowned for serving some of the best afternoon tea in the world. Guests won’t be disappointed with this one-of-a-kind opportunity to enjoy traditional English teatime with a twist of Californian flavors and eccentricity unique to this electric city.
Afternoon tea starts at 2:00 p.m. daily and will be enjoyed on The Maybourne’s outdoor garden terrace. The scent of fragrant flowers tickles guests' noses and transforms their experience as they listen to beautiful melodies from the grand piano. The tea itself will be steeped to perfection and bursting with elegant flavors thanks to the expertise of Henrietta Lovell of Rare Tea Co., who handpicked the loose leaf blend.
