Ready for the royal treatment? We’ve been pouring traditional Afternoon Tea for over a century. Take your time in the elegant Lobby Lounge, an airy space that channels turn-of-the-century elegance with modern refinement. Linger over flaky scones with house-made strawberry jam, fluffy pastries, honey from the hotel beehives and finger sandwiches presented with flourish on our tiered tea service.

Why you'll love it

Indulge in Afternoon Tea at the Empress for a delightful blend of elegance, with delicate pastries, savory bites, and stunning harbor views.

Be sure to try

The Empress blend is a selection of seasonal, quality teas, created exclusively for Fairmont Empress by the Metropolitan Tea Company. With components from Assam (thick, malty and full bodied), Kenya (floral-like with a golden coppery infusion), and China (burgundy depth with light, oaky notes), it is truly one of the finest blends in the world.
