5 top afternoon tea experiences in Shanghai
The Peninsula Shanghai offers a glamorous setting; Cachet Lobby Lounge, The Langham Shanghai Xintiandi brings out the Wedgwood and The Lobby Lounge, Twelve at Hengshan offers a fine alfresco option
Afternoon tea is a cherished tradition at top hotels. Here are five of the best in Shanghai.
The Lobby Lounge, The Peninsula Shanghai
We are happy to report that the glamour and success of tea at Hong Kong’s The Peninsula has been successfully exported to the fine lobby lounge of its group’s Shanghai property. The magic of a three-tier tea here is built on tastes and refinements, with commendable effort placed on extending a service so grand, it is intimate.
Cachet Lobby Lounge, The Langham Shanghai Xintiandi
An originally English enterprise dishes out a quintessentially English affair. Tea at The Langham Shanghai is enhanced by elegant Wedgwood ware, yet another English element in the whole flavoursome ensemble.
