From a Gilded Age domed atrium to a lakeside veranda, these 25 hotels invite heritage travelers to sip, savor, and step into a Victorian tradition that is still being preserved and revived across the United States: Afternoon Tea.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left;\">Afternoon Tea has long symbolized hospitality, warmth, sustenance, and comfort, and it is as much a social gathering as a moment to pause and reflect on the day. While the customs of tea ceremonies date back millennia around the world, Afternoon Tea\u2014a meal served in the mid-afternoon with tea or sparkling wine\u2014is traced to the English aristocrat Anna Russell, the 7th Duchess of Bedford and Queen Victoria\u2019s Lady of the Bedchamber. Her household served dinner fashionably late, at 8 p.m., and the Duchess, regularly hungry in the mid-afternoon, did not want to wait so long between luncheon and supper, so she instituted a new meal. Her \u201cAfternoon Tea\u201d was quickly adopted by women of means during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time when social and cultural mores were rapidly changing for many women. The pursuit of leisure activities away from one\u2019s home became socially acceptable, even fashionable. The movement for women\u2019s suffrage in England and the United States grew over sandwiches and tea at tearooms or friends\u2019 homes, and tea filled the void for Americans wanting to socialize over a drink during Prohibition. Today, the 25 hotels on this list offer visitors the chance to indulge in Afternoon Tea within meticulously restored and preserved historic settings.<\/p>\n<p>Visit HistoricHotels.org to learn more and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=1jsftDL3q05KWwt7VyA7-kW3jDq00-kdyZjYIV7DPDGltIFK2D-1eApVXsdoGMpUH22XXjrqOE-8daEI_mgCwwzAbn6Am1THR01-mbx-fVbU4t7x81davfz3kf6YEu5RA9VD0bI11AIRo3-kVt06oGqJGStUXRW4tSoO-r6d9BY=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">sign up for <em>Discover &amp; Explore<\/em><\/a>, the official Historic Hotels of America newsletter featuring news, special offers, and travel inspiration.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left;\">The 2026 Top 25 Historic Hotels of America Afternoon Tea Experiences, listed in order of the date the historic building was established:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=WRlK2TbjXYAue8Rrjnlh9-Wgy8ZNMvOup4xyUmlVaZbpmcm1WEtlnJyxNecS2F0Y4L9Qbl6p9Q7jfek5hplZBv95zFNqmNJkSMEeWq31FKDJbXPSHszLD7YME2yKtamyHg0kqI2xWZO63dY8_JcMWEj8E4971MwNEN8X0zVOIAVUjdFN1dY5mHqPwR_o93MK\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\"><strong>Omni Bedford Springs Resort &amp; Spa<\/strong><\/a> (1806) <em>Bedford, Pennsylvania<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left;\">Established in 1806 around the famed mineral springs of Bedford County, Omni Bedford Springs Resort &amp; Spa in Bedford, Pennsylvania, has welcomed generations of travelers seeking relaxation, restoration, and refined hospitality.

Each Afternoon Tea service is led by a Pfister Tea Butler, whose role is to speak about the varieties of tea, their origins, effects on the body, and pairing suggestions. The Tea Butlers use an all-silver service, including a replica of an 18th-century self-tipping teapot.

By the end of the decade, the grand hotel affectionately bore the moniker of \u201cThe Belle of the \u201890s.\u201d Naturally, a Belle of the Victorian era served Afternoon Tea. The hotel is particularly famous for hosting Richmond residents\u2019 pet alligators in its Palm Court Lobby from the early 1900s through 1948. This made teatime in the ladies parlor, located right off the lobby, potentially exciting. The hotel tells a story about a guest who, while relaxing over tea and a glass (or two) of sherry, mistook a wandering alligator for a footstool. Legend states that she never partook in anything stronger than tea again! The modern tradition of Afternoon Tea service at The Jefferson Hotel began in the early 1990s. Tea is served on the Mezzanine balcony overlooking the Rotunda lobby on Fridays and Saturdays from 12 to 4:15 p.m., January through November. Afternoon Tea is served daily in December. The hotel serves a Southern Afternoon Tea, featuring a savory country ham sandwich and a variety of teas from Richmond\u2019s own Rostov\u2019s Coffee &amp; Tea. On the first and third Saturday of each month, the hotel hosts a Chocolate Lovers\u2019 Tea, which includes the normal menu along with a decadent selection of chocolate confections. In December, there are two Santa Teas designed for children. The Jefferson Hotel was inducted as a Charter Member of Historic Hotels of America in 1989 and it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=bQJsgLfynffZnr6VhnPuE61bmWKXjdGSL5_RlAwSeOL4QZZVrR5XyjVVWyyJUkeJBHWpppXFeSCTqlTsQrht-PFRWeo-4rFL5_NSi7dM-gjTHC98ypChnncmV0HL3S2vq-_I_rJMe8R_S3X44RlwmqdJp-07jCOQ7w97e9eI5L27nhmpLeYr6qbbDRcXvU3KxIzLPHXl6O9d-AFLsh_-cQ==\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\"><u>Featured Recipe: The Jefferson Hotel\u2019s Scones.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=fWq1ZoPVF7jxfe9j2KR7KJTjfGPMYqpGGofWEANTout28v_1NYw8QWOQ2l6Mga4aZlE1OVFmEJMTw0YUlBOrFbMwhKJ1aGpIJMtTOaVffLYUkfOZIIk0Kp44Uh1-xYWJDTWj-05k8kQfmIFf7s049HzX9L2j82FuYBcCgwQVWcs=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\"><strong><u>West Baden Springs Hotel<\/u><\/strong><\/a> (1902) <em>West Baden Springs, Indiana<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Under the iconic dome of West Baden Springs Hotel, Afternoon Tea is a beloved tradition inspired by the grandeur of the hotel\u2019s Gilded Age past.

Mismatched floral china and colorful linens create a whimsical aesthetic, while the historic architecture and natural surroundings make the experience one-of-a-kind. The Lodge at Wakulla Springs was inducted into Historic Hotels of America in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Afternoon Tea tradition is timeless and beloved around the world. Many historic hotels, resorts, and inns of Historic Hotels of America have served guests Afternoon Tea since it became fashionable in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Historic hotels today offer a variety of Afternoon Tea experiences, from the classic English menu to tea services with a creative and modern twist,\u201d said Lawrence Horwitz, Executive Vice President, Historic Hotels of America and Historic Hotels Worldwide. \u201cWe hope this list will inspire readers who are looking for an authentic setting to celebrate or simply relax. Afternoon Tea can be enjoyed as a quiet, solo respite or shared with loved ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left;\">Seasonal menus, service times, and special experiences vary by hotel. Contact the individual hotel to confirm current offerings and reservation requirements before planning a visit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Historic Hotels of America<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Historic Hotels of America<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation for recognizing and celebrating the finest historic hotels across the United States of America. The National Trust for Historic Preservation was chartered by U.S. Congress in 1949 and is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The National Trust for Historic Preservation is leading the movement to save the places where our history happened. To be nominated and selected for membership in this prestigious program, a hotel must be at least 50 years old; designated by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior as a National Historic Landmark or listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places; and recognized as having historical significance. Of the more than 300 historic hotels inducted into Historic Hotels of America from 44 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, all historic hotels faithfully preserve their authenticity, sense of place, and architectural integrity.
