Holiday Tea Time at The Ritz-Carlton SF
If you need a respite from all that holiday shopping, head to the swank Ritz-Carlton San Francisco for some soothing tea.
Take a load off at the 3 p.m. afternoon tea in the lounge, available daily through Dec. 24.
You’ll enjoy a pot of tea, savory finger sandwiches, scones, macarons and other sweets while live music entertains.
Price is $65 per person.
The little ones are sure to love the Teddy Bear Tea, available 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Dec. 14-15 and Dec. 20-24.
Children can bring their favorite stuffed animal to the Terrace Room to meet Stretchy the Elf, Holly Berry and the giant Ritz-Carlton Teddy Bear. They’ll also get to partake in holiday story-telling, sing-a-longs and a photo session with the Ritz-Carlton Teddy Bear. Holiday treats will be served, too.
Aww, how cute is this Teddy Bear Tea? (Photo courtesy of the Ritz-Carlton)
Price is $110 per person. A portion of proceeds benefits the Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area foundation.
