Afternoon Tea at the Windsor Arms Hotel, Toronto

Windsor Arms tea room Since 1927, the Windsor Arms Hotel has been a favorite hideaway for celebs and discerning international clientele looking for discreet, personalized service and utterly luxurious guest rooms in Toronto. Ideally located in the city’s vibrant Yorkville district, this contemporary boutique hotel has a Darphin spa (one of a kind in North America) with a magnificent pool. Taking tea at the Windsor Arms has long been an afternoon tradition, an elegant indulgence. The High Tea is an absolute must. Enjoy a welcoming flute of sparkling wine or a glass of sherry as you settle into one of the plush seats or comfy sofa. Indulge in dainty sandwiches featuring the likes of baby greens with asparagus, cucumber salsa, and chive cream cheese– or you might choose from such delicacies as goat cheese and caramelized shallot tart. Finally, give into a seductive selection of pastries and sweets, each hand-crafted. Traditional tea is served every afternoon at 1:00 pm and 3:30 pm. Twilight Tea is served Thursday - Sunday at 5:30 pm. Psst. The hotel offers an “Afternoon Tea” package which includes overnight accommodation in a Yorkville Suite, afternoon tea with a glass of sherry or white port and continental breakfast served in the tea room.
