Only a block and a half from my office, and one of the prettiest places in Beverly Hills, the panelled library off of the lobby lounge with its cozy fireplace, was the perfect place to catch up with the ladies over a glass of champagne and a beautifully served tea.
so here's an image from the Montage website. Isn't the hand painted china pretty?
What I want to know is if the United States was primarily settled by the English, how is it that America lost this great English tradition?
Does anyone know?

What a great room, I must pop in there next year - I'll drag you across the road!
I've wondered that too about afternoon tea - I was very surprised to hear that it hadn't crossed the pond. One of my friends was at the ancestral home of the woman who started the vogue for afternoon tea just last week - it's funny how all of these grand houses really belong to the men of the family, the women just come and go.
Tabitha,
You will love the Montage it is a very attrative hotel.
and yes ironic isn't it that the women of the grand houses seem to come and go even though they bear and raise the heirs.
