The unexpected at every turn. Our signature lobby bar is an intimate, richly designed space that evokes the essence of a classic hotel bar with the modern grandeur of today. Finishes are warm and comfortable with an air of refinement, signature drinks are hand-crafted and served with impeccable attention to detail, and spirited gatherings set the scene with conversation, camaraderie and perhaps an extra cocktail. Or two.

    Everything was perfect! The food quality, amount, and presentation were great. The tea menu was extensive, and hot water was refilled as needed. Very attentive service.

    We usually go to the Willard’s Peacock Alley afternoon tea around the holidays but this year, when I went to book a reservation, there was no availability. So, I hunted around for an alternative, saw this, and decided we would give it a try. And we LOVED IT! The food was plentiful and delicious. The pastries were so beautifully and creatively made to reflect the Christmas season that I almost didn’t wast to eat them. It is also just a gorgeous place to have tea. The lobby where the tea is served is both grand and intimate. We were seated right by a big picture window. (Let’s be honest, there is a reason they call it Peacock Alley—you are basically sitting in a hallway making the experience at the Willard a bit claustrophobic.) And the service was OUTSTANDING! Everyone was so nice and attentive. (Although the service at the Willard is also generally good, it does feel a bit like a factory assembly line.) I almost don’t want to tell you how much we loved the whole experience because I don’t want it to get overrun like the Willard. The tea service at the Willard is still nice but I think we have found our new favorite place. Thank you to all the staff at the St. Regis for making it such a memorable experience!

    My companion and I came for the seasonal tea service. Lovely venue and appropriate ambiance for high tea. Not all the offerings were to my personal taste, but all high quality nonetheless. Our server was excellent as well, but unfortunately I don’t recall her name. Would recommend
