The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai

9 Best Hotels for Afternoon Tea Worldwide

The setting is the Sea Lounge, with art deco furnishings and old colonial charm from 1903 when the hotel was first built. And the lounge is aptly named, as guests can catch great views of the ships on the harbor before they set sail on the Arabian Sea. In the evenings, live music fills the room, adding to the atmosphere. The tea service is offered buffet style, with local Indian favorites along with traditional English delights. Sea Lounge is open 7 p.m. – midnight daily; tea service from ₹2,200 (approximately $30)." - Travel + Leisure Editors
