AFTERNOON TEA
named among the top ten places to enjoy “afternoon Tea like a Royal” by the Travel Channel,
Willard InterContinental is celebrated as the premier destination for afternoon tea in
Washington, D.C.
This storied tradition dates back more than a century at the Willard. Afternoon tea became a
hallmark of refined society in the hotel’s gilded halls, where diplomats, socialites, and dignitaries
would gather to exchange ideas over fine teas and delicate bites. Generations later, the ritual
continues in the Willard Peacock Alley, the hotel’s grand promenade where history has so often
unfolded.
Today, guests savor an experience that blends heritage with culinary artistry. A distinguished
selection of estate and boutique blended loose-leaf teas from the J’enwey Tea Company is paired
with tiers of classic finger sandwiches, hand-crafted pastries, and the Willard’s renowned freshly
baked scones. The setting—ornate, elegant, and timeless—captures the essence of Washington
tradition while offering a respite of pure indulgence in the heart of the capital.
At Willard InterContinental, afternoon tea is more than a meal—it is an occasion, a moment to
pause and connect, and a link to the hotel’s remarkable legacy of hospitality that has endured for
over 200 years.
