O.Henry Hotel

Excellent service although sometimes multiple phone calls were needed to reach someone. Rooms need some updating but bathroom areas are quite nice (and updated!).Coffee cups in room were dirty. Room service was efficient and food was good. Love the bar area but many of the wines by glass were unavailable? Overall, a classy hotel and definitely the best choice in Greensboro.

I made reservations at the O’Henry Hotel for our wedding anniversary. I’d heard about it from my son who had stayed in the past. I will say it was a fantastic time. The package options were well described on their website, and easy to compare for my selection. The idea of some additional in room treats was a great touch, and Rayana Simmons made sure everything was perfect. The connection between the hotel and the Lucky 32 Restaurant, and the Green Valley Grill also made my dining decisions easy to make. It was only two nights, this time. I expect we’ll be back to explore the area when the weather is nicer. I highly recommend the O’Henry for a romantic getaway.

Today we had a lovely time The O'Henry Hotel's Afternoon Tea! Our swing dance group has enjoyed meeting annually for tea there for fourteen years. In particular, the last four years have gone so smoothly! Landon is wonderful to work with, and he makes sure that we are taken care of beautifully. He and his excellent team provide outstanding service, and we are so grateful that we can enjoy connecting and catching up over tea in a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere every year. Thank you for accommodating us so seamlessly which allows us to focus on having a wonderful time together! We'll be back next year!

The tea was very good. A friend‘s wedding and reception was really good and our stay at the hotel was exceptional. The charcuterie and and Dinner at the Green Valley Grille Was very nice and the waiters were very attentive. The weight staff at the Jazz entertainment did a great job keeping up with orders and making sure everyone had what they needed and wanted. The eggnog cheesecake and chocolate cake they brought at 11 PM. Was very good and even though the waiters were very busy, they did a great job.

My husband and I attended the Jazz show this past Wednesday evening for the New Year's Eve party and had an absolutely fantastic time! Not only was the Jazz show amazing, the service was as well. Our server, Lindsay, was so helpful and kind. I watched her dodge and weave her way through the pressing crowd while delivering service with a smile. Not only was she there exactly when we needed her, she also seemed to be able to tell with a glance when we were doing okay and didn't need further assistance - and that is the mark of a truly skilled server. Whatever you're paying her, it's not enough - she's absolutely wonderful! In addition, the food was absolutely spectacular -particularly the short rib sliders, the burrata salad with pears and figs, and the hummus. I never expected to have hummus that flavorful and authentic in Greensboro NC. They also have excellent affogatos! Thank you all for the best NYE I've ever had- cheers!

This is an absolutely lovely hotel with both atmosphere and quiet classiness. We were there the last weekend in Nov. and when we checked out Sunday morning there was a group of carolers singing in the lobby. Also, an event for youngsters and their mothers was taking place in a room just off the lobby. Everyone was very nicely dressed up with lovely dresses and suits, etc. Watching them come in was much fun. This is the second year we have been to the O'Henry and at the same time as last year. Obviously, we like the place. Five stars.

I went to celebrate my husband’s birthday. He loved the idea. The hotel room was very nice, clean, comfortable room. The convenience of the restaurants and bars is a plus. You really can stay with in the hotel chain of properties and enjoy different environments. The service was outstanding. We will be back.

I've stayed here a lot. Not including resorts, which are a different animal, the O Henry is my favorite hotel. It's a beautiful, cozy place that looks older than it is. Service is excellent, as is the restaurant on site, as is the tea, as is the local restaurant at their sister hotel less than a mile away. The restaurants matter because some of the hotel's promotions include dining credits, and trust me, you want to eat there anyway. (The credits are also good for Tea.) The rooms have exactly what I want: ample seating, a place to leave a suitcase open, 2 sinks, great bathroom with rubber duck, comfortable beds, long views. They're located right beside the best shopping center in Greensboro. You can buy a Coke down the hall without feeling like you've been robbed. It's an employee owned company and you can tell by how much the staff cares. If I go to Greensboro and they have a vacancy, that's normally where I stay. Glad to support them with a good review. They deserve it.

I've done high teas in the LA area for quite some time, some good and some bad and always usually pricey. I couldn't believe the deal I saw here. $22 and I couldn't even finish it, the quality and amount they gave you was a great surprise to me. The place was truly like being in the past, enjoying high tea with friends. They had classical music playing and the service was amazing. They treated us so well. We enjoyed a herbal pumpkin tea that was delicious, and their lemon curd and clotted cream was on point for an English experience. Their small bite pumpkin cheesecake melted in your mouth and was truly one of the best I've ever had. I already made a reservation to come back with more friends, I can't wait.

This review is for the cocktail and jazz event that they do on Thursday evenings! I absolutely recommend coming for a fun date night or with friends. The event is free which I think is amazing - you just might want to bring cash to tip the musicians! The jazz was great and super entertaining. We got there a little later and it was packed but the host was super nice and found a spot for us where we could still see the performers. There's also another room where they have a speaker set up so you can still hear the music and have a full booth if you want. My cocktail was delicious - I had a blueberry spritz. We also ordered appetizers from their jazz menu - chicken skewers, sliders, and Muhammara (which I've never had before) and it was delicious! They are small plates so they're not big but the prices aren't bad. The food was really good - the muhammara was absolutely delicious. At first they didn't give us a lot of pita but we asked for extra because there was so much dip & they were happy to give us a basket of warm pita. This hotel is so gorgeous inside and the service was outstanding. Love that they have this event every Thursday!

Stayed at O Henry as part of a wedding party and everything was beautiful. Such a relaxing atmosphere and we all had zero complaints. The cherry on top was the incredible afternoon tea. The interior was lovely, the tea waitress was knowledgeable and friendly, the scones were out of this world delicious, the seasonal tea specials were so flavorful. And all of this for $25. Around my city, all of this would have been closer to $150. Take advantage of tea time! It's probably the best thing to do in Greensboro. But reservations fill up fast so don't sleep on this.

I came here for their Cocktail and Jazz night. It's awesome that the hotel offers these shows for free every Thursday. The place is pretty packed for the event. If you want a good seat you either have to get lucky (like I did), come early, or wait until the 2nd set around 8 o'clock when people start to leave. The music was great! It's rare when I get to hear live Jazz in Greensboro so it's awesome that they have these events weekly. The food and drinks were good too. They only have small plates for the performance. I could probably eat 3 plates for myself if I was hungry (FYI the food in the pics are half eaten). The prices weren't too bad either considering how good the food is and the location. I definitey recommend the short rib sliders and the Muhammara with extra pita (they give you soooo much dip you'll need the extra).

Every year after Thanksgiving I have a tradition of dressing up and going to the Afternoon Tea with my now 8 year old grand daughter. The snacks are good & the tea is delicious. We take pictures near the Christmas decorations & Just have a great time chatting. I love this place. I already have my reservation for this year.

We took the young ladies to Tea at the O'Henry. You have to make reservations in advance as they seem to stay booked up. They have a tea menu with different snack levels. Very elegant in the main O'Henry lobby. A fun event at a wonderful hotel.

The afternoon tea at the O.Henry has been a staple in our household. My grandmother used to take me to afternoon tea when I was a kid so it has always had a special place in my heart. And it honestly hasn't changed a bit over all these years, in the best way! The tea treats are so yummy and cute. Its such a nice change of pace for a celebration instead of standard restaurants or bars. It makes you feel like you are in London, instead of Greensboro.

This is by far one of my favorite places to visit. It doesn't matter if it's a weekday or a weekend I just love the ambience of the lobby of the O'Henry Hotel. Love the finger foods and treats provided as part of the full tea. Enjoy the great selection of always on the menu tease as well as the seasonal selections. The service is awesome, the ambience is fantastic And you have the option of dressing up or dressing down, but it always provides an elevated sophisticated experience. I would enjoy tea at the O Henry every week if I can convince others to join me, but until then, I'll have to deal with at least a monthly visit to enjoy this wonderful addition to the Greensboro community.

The afternoon tea here is delightful. I've tried a few different teas here and they've all been delicious. The service is always stellar, and really all of the food is delicious. My favorite are the scones.

The lobby of the O.Henry is the perfect place to have a leisurely afternoon tea! We went on a Wednesday afternoon, and it was quite lively. Would definitely encourage making a reservation ahead of time. You get your own pot of tea, plus a selection of seasonal treats of varying variety.

This hotel is a classic spot with a lot of character. From the moment you enter you feel right at home. I was able to take part in their tea time and had it brought to my room. Nothing says hospitality like afternoon tea. The restaurant in the hotel is also very lovely with a lot of great options as well as a full bar. Highly recommend.

We made one of our regular sojourns to the O. Henry for their wonderful tea, which has become a holiday tradition, including family photos in front of their beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The teas were delicious, including the seasonal holiday tea, the scones continue to be the best I have ever had, the seasonal quiche (won't give it away) worth ordering extra, and staples like the chicken salad filo tart never disappoint -- and leave one wanting more. But even better was the warm and attentive service; afterwards we wished we had asked our server her name, she was so good. Thanks to GM Michael too, for the treat!

I definitely would recommend a visit to O. Henry hotel if you would like to enjoy some good company and "high tea" ! Take time to relax and step back to a more cultured experience.

Wow!!!! Such an amazing hotel. The staff were exceptional!!!!! We stayed here as our Daughters wedding was at a venue in Stokesdale. Cannot say enough about the level of service we received staying here. One of the best stays I have ever had and I stay at quite a few hotels. This is the place to stay when in the area. Even if you just do it once it's worth it! Thank you to the staff for making it the best stay!!

Beautiful throw back hotel that makes you feel as comfortable as you would at Sunday dinner at Grandma's house. And they have live Thursday night jazz music. The staff here are all great, and professional and owners of the hotel. The food is above average to very good...try the mashed potatoes but stay away from the French toast which is my only complaint. Besides that this a great place to visit and stay with large rooms and comfortable beds. If you don't stay here stay at their sister hotel which is right down the road...see my other reviews to learn more.

heads up, this review is for the afternoon tea. i've never stayed at the hotel as i used to live in greensboro briefly. my parents still live here so when i visit gso i stay with them. :p i actually have been here for tea more than once -- one time before i liked tea and this time since i've become a huge tea enjoyer. the first time, i still very much loved it. i liked trying all of the savories, sweets, and the scone from the light afternoon tea. i didn't try a lot of the actual tea as, for some odd reason, i thought all tea tasted like grass (rolling my eyes at my former self now). it was also cool that they brought everything out on a three-tier plate; i mean who wouldn't think that was cool?! the inside of the place, being a hotel, feels like a regal one that you would see in the likes of the movie home alone. the service is always lovely, too. this time around, about two years later, we decided to come back. in the last year, i've gotten very "into" tea. i drink it a lot and i love trying new ones... so i was happy to hear when the o.henry had seasonal teas to go with the o.henry tea, which is their largest afternoon tea of the three total that they offer. i got their holiday spiced black tea which included cinnamon and orange peel. of all the teas i tried, this one was my favorite. the other people i attended with got the chocolate chai and the other holiday tea, which tasted like a redhot candy. onto the actual noshes. each sweet and savory are about a bite or two big. usually, when i have afternoon tea, i eat in the order of 1) savories, 2) scone, and 3) sweets. so let's start with the savories: the o.henry tea includes an open-face cucumber finger sandwich, a mini ham, brie, & fig croissant, smoked salmon on a mini crumpet, a tea quiche, and a chicken salad tart made with filo dough. these were all delicious, my favorite ended up being the chicken salad tart. onto the scone, which was vanilla. it was soft with a wonderful outside crust, not too hard or crunchy. the scones come with real clotted cream which is a plus (a lot of places do not use legit clotted cream nowadays) and lemon curd. they are perfect on this scone and enhance the vanilla perfectly. lastly, the sweets. the menu doesn't specify what they are, it just says "assorted sweets." there is a mini cheesecake, a macaron, a slice of cake covered in strawberry jam and coconut, and a molasses cookie. i believe the sweets left more to be desired, to be honest. since the menu was not descriptive of the sweets, i got worried when i saw the cheesecake. i couldn't tell if it contained raspberries or blackberries. i am very, very allergic to blackberries. i flagged down the waitress and she informed me that the cheesecake had raspberry filling, thankfully, but if the menu had just told me what sweets were available it would've saved me the anxiety. i think of the sweets, i liked the macaron and the cheesecake most. the molasses cookie had way too much molasses. the jammy cake was only okay, partially because i just don't like coconut shavings. overall, i had a wonderful experience. the service was good, we had a very nice waitress who was very accommodating with all of the different kinds of teas we ordered. the savory food was fantastic and the sweets were still good even though they were not my favorites. the tea itself was top tier in my opinion, i would come here just for a pot of it. i do recommend afternoon tea at the o.henry!

If you are visiting Greensboro, NC for business or pleasure, you have to check out O. Henry Hotel. Why, because it's a very elegant place to spend your afternoon tea with your friends, relatives, significant other and everything in between. We were invited by my birthday girl who is from this area. The lobby is so nice and picturesque. We had a great time mingling, talking and catching up with what we have missed. Just like everyone else here. We have come here for the O. Henry Tea. Come by and just enjoy the mellow vibes and jazz at times. Parker was our server. Very attentive and such a plus to this establishment. Thank you crew for making this day one of my best this year!

I had afternoon tea with my family for Thanksgiving today and it was such a wonderful experience. We have been coming to the O'Henry for several years now and it has always been such a treat. However, I have been significantly impressed by the overall experience more than ever over the past few months. Claire was our tea server today and she was polite, enthusiastic, and so helpful when recommending options and substitutions for my dairy allergy. The hotel was cozy and stunning with the Christmas decor and it felt so special. Thank you to all the wonderful staff working on a holiday to make the occasion that much better for the guests!

I have never done high tea but had always wanted to. When my friends decided to visit from out of town, we were excited to try it out together! First of all, the price is fantastic! There are others I've seen that are between $50-80, and this was about $20 and we felt like we had a great experience. There is no dress code although the setting feels high-end in the lobby with an elegant and Victorian feel. I'm not personally a big tea drinker, but they offered a strawberry kiwi flavor that basically tasted like warm juice when you add some sugar cubes in. We enjoyed all of the desserts and snacks and got the highest end selection. It was a good amount and we all finished ours without feeling like we wanted more. Service was great, as the server was friendly, sweet, and polite. Truly no complaints and a great atmosphere to spend time with friends!

Where do I start...the service, the food, Thursdays jazz. One of my favorite places in Greensboro to be to relax to enjoy good company and great ambiance. You are always welcome at O'Henry

I never thought much of this place when passing by. Just a building of bricks. It is very luxurious. My sorority sisters gave me a baby shower in a suite. It had a fireplace and a huge master bath all marble with a huge tub. A half bath for guests. Amazing. The bed sleeps great. The bathroom in regular rooms are big. Love love. And the high tea is awesome !

I love the tea time here. It is such a whimsical experience. I took my niece here for some girl time. We wore cute spring dresses and got to try the butterfly pea flower tea, and it was marvelous, sweet, floral, and purple! The treats that we got were delicious as well. My favorite was the cucumber finger sandwich, light, and wonderful! We sat in the Caldwell room, which has the story of the gift of the magi written among the ceiling, which brought back nostalgia from reading this story of love and selflessness as a child. This room overlooks a beautiful garden, which I assume tea can also be taken, but it was raining that day. Overall, it was such a fanciful luncheon.

Afternoon tea is one of my favorite triad activities. The Paris tea and the full O'Henry Tea is my go to order every time. Cannot beat the peaceful ambiance here.

my friend and i went for tea at 2:00 and both got the o.henry tea on the menu and their english breakfast tea (they offered milk, sugar cubes, and my friend requested honey) which was $20. it came with an assortment of savory and sweet treats, i wish there were a few more savory items but overall everything was delicious. i came into this not having lunch and was able to finish my portion as my "meal" and left pretty full. the ambiance was nice, but it was also darker than i expected it to be but it was also not very sunny outside. overall i enjoyed my experience at the o.henry. my friend gives it a 5/5 stars as well

I haven't had the opportunity to stay here yet since I am local but I've attended several events as well as ate at Green Valley Grill and it's always a good time. Most recently I attended the Thursday night Cocktails and Jazz events and they were great. It's a smaller intimate setting so be sure to get there early to secure seating. There's a small appetizer menu that you'll find something you'd enjoy. The drinks and bartender staff are amazing and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend as a cozy night out with friends, a romantic outing for couples, or a solo date. Either way, you'll enjoy all the OHenry has to offer!

Afternoon Tea is a must do! 3 Gal pals and I went on a Sunday afternoon, and it was wonderful! We bought the O Henry Tea and I highly recommend it because you get to try it all! My absolute favorite, Black Tea Peach & Ginger! The ginger is faint and the peach smell is so awesome! I am totally in love! We all wore hats for the true English experience. It was a fun time!

Lovely good service and menu liked seating stop forcing comments I'm growing sick of this

December 2022 Review: I had a 5-star experience at this hotel. We checked in on a Thursday afternoon and the greater lobby area was filled with folks for Afternoon Tea. Our room was nice and had a blue sky with clouds painted on the ceiling. The branded robes were comfy to chill out in. That night we attended the weekly live jazz downstairs. It was pretty packed -- both locals and hotel guests had made reservations beforehand, so we stood by the jazz bar, listened and charged spiked hot ciders to our room. The hotel is conveniently located next to a big shopping plaza with a Whole Foods, Barnes and Noble and lots of retail. GLUTEN FREE Food Review: The staff is extremely knowledgeable about allergens. The hotel restaurant is the Green Valley Grill which also provides their room service. Roasted Chicken Salad Croissant: I got it on a gluten free bun and the French fries were gluten free. Wish the chicken salad had dried cranberries but overall great. 5/5 Blue Crab and Spinach Dip: We swapped the pita for side greens. It tasted good but was more filling that I expected because of the cream cheese-like consistency. 3/5 Avocado Ciabatta Toasts: I got this for room service and the avocado was greying a lot by the time I removed the tin. But poached egg and gluten free multigrain were really good. We swapped hash browns for greens. 3/5 Steel Cut Oats: I would have liked for fruit to be included by default, but it was good consistency and came with whole pecans and brown sugar sides. 5/5 Coffee: 5/5 Mushroom Bisque: I got a cup and couldn't taste any mushroom. It was kind of thin so I dumped the whole Parmesan side into it which was fine. 2/5 Sweet Josie Brown Ale Braised Pork Shank: They made it gluten free for me. A tad dry -- not a "falls off the bone" type. But good portion sizes for meat, mashed potato and wilted greens. 4/5 Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée: Just hold the cookie and it's GF. HUGE. Made to share. Raspberry sauce is impeccable and the top is like glass. 6/5 Cauliflower Bread (the gf complimentary bread option): One of the best gluten free carbs I've eaten. Chewy consistency, served warm. 5/5 Nearby gluten free options: Undercurrent (great dining, potential review to come), and the restaurant of their sister hotel, Print Works Bistro. Guests of O'Henry can even charge Print Works to their room.

This review is for their Afternoon Tea. To schedule a time for tea you must book in advance as they stay busy. Tea is served in the main lobby. Parties are seated at eclectic table, chair, couch arrangements. The tables are not all at regular eating level but more at the level of a living room or side table. Tables all had fresh flower bouquets which were a lovely touch. Each person had a different tea cup and tea pot pattern. Sugar and cream were served with the tea service. The prices are extremely affordable and the food and tea is good. Each person gets their own pot of tea chosen from a list. Tiered trays reflect more than one serving to minimize table space. The tiers had both sweet and savory bites along with scones with clotted cream and lemon curd. The macaroon was delicious very fresh and had a lightly sweet buttercream filling. We only received two desserts ( a macaroon and a wedge of cake coated in jam and coconut) rather than a variety but it felt like enough sweetness for us. The savory were ham and brie, mini broccoli cheese quiche, chicken salad, cucumber cream cheese and salmon canape. There was also a cayenne cheese mini biscuit/cracker this I did not like it had some odd old cold grease like taste and was far too spicy for two people in my party. The music was lovely but a little too loud making it hard to converse with people across the table. One person in my party commented that it would be nicer to have someone play on the piano they had then a CD of instrumental music. One employee hovered in the corner keeping an eye on all the tables it felt like he was security monitoring a scene. There was other staff who served the customers their tea and tiers so his presence felt a little odd. Half of my party towards the end of tea time had bright sunlight in their face blinding them. It would have been nice to have lowered blinds or closed sheer curtains to avoid this. Over all we had a lovely time and definitely will be back. My suggestion to others is prepare to book in advance as they do stay busy.

What a beautiful place! Came for their afternoon tea experience and it did not disappoint! They had some lovely music playing in the background to set the mood. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The tea and pastries were all delicious. If I lived here I'd certainly make this on a regular. And the prices are not bad at all which is amazing in today's economy. Highly recommend doing this.

Resturant is absolutely da bomb! Service is unbelievably dedicated to attention! Food was so good! Had The scallops ! She had pecan crusted trout with green beans! You better go! Not kidding this place knows what to do and delivers!

Great atmosphere and the Afternoon Tea was excellent! My Granddaughter loved it too. We will be going back soon.

Tea at the O'Henry hotel is a. Experience to be had. The teas are full of flavor. The food selection is good also and compliments the tea.

What an amazing place. We booked Our stay using the three wishes. Our stay was fantastic. Great staff. Lovely rooms. They were so accommodating and friendly. From booking our room, front desk staff and all were super. We will be back next year for next year's New Year's Eve party.

Everything went well! Staff, facilities, food, beauty surrounding us, including a beautiful Christmas Tree!

The afternoon tea was wonderful. The surroundings, food, and drinks were exceptional. The service was very good. Would suggest the formal afternoon tea to anyone. Will try to schedule another visit on our next visit to the area.

Such a gorgeous, electric hotel! If you're looking for a unique place to stay when you're visiting Greensboro, absolutely stay here. The decor reminds you of something set back in time in London. The rooms are uniquely decorated and the facilities and restaurants onsite are top notch. We recently came here for high tea on Saturday which is something they do every weekend! Their tea selection has something for everyone but I got the hibiscus and it was amazing! The scones and mini sandwiches were amazing. My favorites were the cucumber sandwiches and the lemon curd with their scones and clotted cream. If you're looking for something to do on the weekends, absolutely check this out!

I've reviewed the O. Henry before, but I thought a more current review might help, not that anything's changed. My wife and I stay here a few times a year. There was a big event in town: NC A&T's homecoming. As a result, rooms were in short supply. I needed two nights and we had to move rooms because of supply, staying in a double queen the first night and a king the second. At most hotels, that would leave us in limbo from checkout time in the first room to check-in time in the second. Not here. We had a choice of when we wanted the transition. We packed our stuff, went out for something we needed to do in the morning, came back, got new keys, and our luggage was waiting in the new room. We like everything about this place, which is why we keep coming back. The rooms are exactly what I want from a hotel: plenty of seating in the room, available outlets in lots of places, ample drawer space, an out of the way bench to leave an open suitcase on, great bathrooms, two sinks in separate rooms so it's easy to use both at the same time, good beds, enough towels, a kettle that's not a coffee pot so if you want to drink tea it doesn't taste of coffee; these guys go so far as to give you a reading desk and a rubber duck for the bathtub. And the rooms look great: cozy and warm without looking pretentious. Plus they have a really good restaurant, the Green Valley Grill, one of the better restaurants in Greensboro, in the hotel. They have another hotel with another really good restaurant, Printworks, maybe half a mile away. We ate at both. The O. Henry also serves a great afternoon tea in the lobby, but get a reservation in advance, preferably far in advance, if you want to do that. The service is great, courteous and attentive, as should be apparent from how they handled the transition. I've had staff really go out of their way for us when we've needed it on previous visits. When we're on the road coming (we come from upstate NY), I get a text asking if there's anything they can do for us. If I mention something, I actually get an answer. The lobby is beautiful, looking old without being old, elegant and welcoming without being intimidating. The location is perfect for our needs. One last thing: we wanted to watch our budget this trip so, just in case, I got a quote from the Marriott Courtyard. The hotel chains vary pricing by demand, which the O. Henry does less of. The O.Henry will not offer some promotions if they're crowded, and this is why I got a second quote - particularly with meal promotions, they're very reasonable for what they are. The quote from the Courtyard was HIGHER than the O. Henry. The Courtyard is fine - we've stayed there and would again under the right circumstances - but comparing it to the O. Henry is ludicrous. It's like comparing fast food to fine dining. Fast food can be great for what it is, but you don't exactly expect a wine list. If fine dining is less expensive and you have the time, it's a no-brainer. As was this.

I love their afternoon tea in the common lobby, where you enjoy your tea with engraved famous novel from o'Henry, Gift of the Magi, surrounding the lobby. I love the furnitures, they give you an old home library feel. The o'Henry tea contains abundant afternoon tea food, including cucumber finger sandwich, macron, scone with their seasonal sauce and clotted cream, and so on. I enjoy a peaceful afternoon tea with friends when spilling some tea

We celebrated my daughter's birthday with tea and the O Henry. It was lovely. We had such a nice afternoon. The scones were my favorite. But everything was fresh and tasted great. You have your choice of tea and the selection has something for everyone. This is a great way to spend an afternoon.

I was so excited when my husband and best friend treated me to the O. Henry Afternoon Tea for a birthday present. It was one of those cool Greensboro things I had somehow never done before. It takes place in the O Henry hotel lobby seating area where they have strategically set up areas of chairs/couches for various group sizes. I love how all the tea cups were a uniquely beautiful piece of China. For my tea, I got the Paris which was a medium body with aromatic caramel and vanilla flavors. I enjoyed this tea a lot and didn't even feel the need to add sugar or sweetener as felt it was very tasty on its own. They had a tea for all preferences with black, green, and herbal tea options as well as some decaffeinated versions too. We also got a bottle of champagne to share. It was a celebration after all! They offer a child's tea ($8) and three levels of the tea for adults. All of which include various treats and the cost goes up with each level and more food-Cream Tea, Light Afternoon Tea, and the O. Henry Tea ($9,$13, and $18). We decided to go all in with the O. Henry Tea which included Warm Vanilla Scone with Clotted Cream, Seasonal Curd, Cucumber Finger Sandwich, Mini Ham, Brie and Fig Croissant, Smoked Salmon on a Mini Crumpet with Arugula Mayonnaise, Seasonal Tea Quiche, Chicken Salad Filo Tart, Assorted Sweets, and a Spicy Cheddar Wafer. You get a lot for the cost in my opinion. It is also presented so beautifully on these layered towering trays. The warm vanilla scones with the clotted cream and curd were a highlight for me as well as the mini ham, brie and fig croissant. It was fun having little bites of all of these delectable treats. In general I preferred the savory items. The sweets were so pretty, especially the macaroons, it was just too much sweet for me. However, I was super impressed with everything. You just couldn't help feeling very fancy. I can see why this a thing people like to do in the area as a special treat. I know I would like to go back soon!

Just spend a little extra, it's worth it! One of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed in, with live jazz nights and traditional English tea served in the lobby. (You need to book the teatime, but the Thursday jazz is open to anyone. You do want to arrive early if you want a good seat for the jazz. Or come late after some people have left.) There is a very good restaurant attached to the hotel with both indoor and outdoor seating and a few vegetarian options. The hotel has its own literary magazine. Rooms have the sky painted on the ceiling (sounds tacky but is beautifully done), nice robes and bathrooms divided into vanity/shower areas. I'll stay again if I ever return to the city.

Went for afternoon tea in the hotel lobby and it was amazing. Great selection of teas and snacks. Amazing great weekend activity!

Finally I was able to find a reason to go to tea at this hotel. I've been wanting to do this for a really long time. I went with a group of 10 women from my company. The venue is perfect and makes you think you're in NYC or Europe for a luxury high tea. We ordered the top of the line "tea" and the food was amazing. That is the best scone I've ever had in my life. The tower of delectable treats were a nice combination of savory and sweet and it was plenty of food to share. We didn't get food for everyone and we had leftovers. Don't go there if you are in a hurry. This is meant to be lingering and relaxing. I'm now trying to find another reason to go back and enjoy a relaxed tea with some friends. I mean do I really need a reason? (Picking up the phone to make a reservation!)

Cozy and elegant atmosphere. I love the jazz nights on Thursdays, but be sure to get there by 5:15 to get a seat for the show that starts at 6pm. The locals love this place and they start piling in at around that time. The crowd is much older than I expected, but there are lovely people there. I'll be a regular every other Thursday (or so). Last week they built a sort of "Annex" just off the lobby for spill over. So you can sit in a fantastic environment, chat with your friends, eat some lovely appetizers and enjoy the music there as well (you just can't see the band from there). The small plates they offer for the jazz show in the lobby are great...I love the sliders. The service is high-quality as well. I love this place.

Afternoon tea at the O.Henry is wonderful! I've been a few times and am always impressed. The service and facilities are also very nice.

My mom and I went to the O. Henry for afternoon tea. It was beyond amazing! I was just surprised that tea happened in chairs around coffee tables instead of at a regular table. I also wasn't sure what to expect with the actual tea - do we get 1 pot or do they bring cups of tea so we can try different ones? You get a pot of tea. I chose the Paris blend and my mom got the Holiday blend. Both were delicious. We each drank 1 cup of what the other ordered. We both drank our full pots of tea! My mom and I ordered the full O. Henry Tea and I got the gluten free option. It was awesome! I just wish I had gotten a second ham & brie instead of a second smoked salmon. However, it was all still delicious! My mom had the gluten-filled plate. We got a few different things because I had GF. It was still truly amazing! I loved the little sandwiches on GF bread and the chicken salad on the piece of cucumber. The GF scone was SO amazing! It was nice and buttery and crumbled like a good sugar cookie. I ordered 3 more to take home with me. The lemon curd and clotted cream were also amazing. The macaron, cookies, brownie, and GF crackers were also super delicious! I love the aura of the space. It was so fun to watch moms with their little girls all dressed up come in. There were women wearing fascinators (I wish I had remembered to pack mine!). It was just a lovely time and worth every penny. Sadly, the holiday tea was in high demand that we couldn't buy any there - BUT our server told us to go across the street to a store called The Extra Ingredient because they carried it. We went there and each got a ton of the teas we used drank at the O. Henry.

Customer Service comes to mind when you think of O. Henry Hotel. They have this hotel/restaurant thing down to a T. This our second time staying at this wonderful spot. It's a fancy little gem located in Greensboro surrounded by their restaurant's and sister hotel. Jonathan and Ruby were so helpful this time during our stay recommending the best that the hotel restaurants has to offer. This time we were able to partake in tea time. They offer a variety of tea's, & tea food packages to accommodate your palate. You must book in advance upon arrival we made this mistake last time. In which I was very disappointed cause a girl like me love stuff like this. Everything is Everything when you stay here no matter the occasion. It's must on your bucket list.

Having tea at the O. Henry is one of those activities I wish I remembered to do more often! It is such a fun experience that makes you feel so fancy. The lobby where they serve tea is so open, bright and beautiful. There's lots of different setups to choose from based on the size of your party from tables to comfy leather chairs and couches. The staff is extremely attentive and polite. They even pour your first cup of tea for you. I love how the tea pots are all different shapes and styles. Cream and sugar are provided so you can do it up however you like. We also shared the O. Henry Tea which came with lots of delectable treats from macaroons to cucumber sandwiches. Everything on the multi-tiered platters was delicious and complimented the tea so well. If you're looking for something a little different to do, I would highly recommend checking this out!
