The handcrafted tapestries and antique furnishings in the Tea Lobby emit a stately elegance. Your posture instinctively straightens. Through the window, a perfect view of the Inner Harbour reveals a tour group of giddy Captain Ahabs, eager for the chance to spot a great whale of their own.
Tea is poured expertly into your fine china cup as fresh berries and Devon-style double Jersey cream arrive in a crystal dish. A triple-tiered silver platter of sandwiches, scones and pastries are set down. It seems a shame to ruin such an elegant display by consuming it too quickly. Gazing back through the window, the nearby sound of a horse-drawn carriage clopping lazily down Government Street sends you into a daydream and for a moment, it appears to be snowing. But as the cherry blossoms swirl past the glass, you realize it's just the crowning touch to a flawless afternoon.
Give yourself the royal treatment in Victoria, where tradition and natural beauty live side by side. An exceptional experience awaits you.
