The Hotel Windsor in Melbourne is an icon, with its old-world charm and black tie service. It truly is a luxurious and opulent experience.
Set just off the lobby, the One Eleven tea lounge is like taking a step back in time. It is easy for one to feel as if they are dining with the ladies of Downton Abbey or the like.
On this particular afternoon, there is a buzz in the room with groups of old and young all gathered around to share the experience. Once we are seated we are offered a glass of champagne and the menu is explained and placed for us to peruse.
The tea selection was excellent with a good variety of 11 different teas, I chose a Sencha green which was refreshing and calming. The silverware was so well worn, but it created a unique authenticity as if these very tea pots and crockery has been used since Afternoon Tea was first served.
