The Athenaeum, London Unveils Gentleman's Afternoon Tea
Priced at £ 34.50 per person (approximately $57.00), including VAT, the Gent's Tea draws on the traditions of a private club, with appeal for those tea lovers–men and women alike–who prefer the savory to the sweet. It features traditional English accompaniments such as wild boar sausage rolls, miniature steak and ale pies, and warm cave-aged mature cheddar and bacon scones. Guests can have these with a glass of single malt scotch -- chosen by The Athenaeum's whisky sommelier –- and, of course tea. (The Athenaeum's traditional afternoon tea won a Tea Guild Award in 2012).

The Gentleman's Afternoon Tea is available now until June 30th. Doesn't it sound like an ideal Father's Day gift? Reservations are required and seating is available from 12:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. daily.

Located in fashionable Mayfair–across from Green Park, just steps from Buckingham Palace and the best shopping in London–The athenaeum is a family-owned and family-friendly five-star 164-room hotel known for its exterior vertical garden wall and the Apartments at The athenaeum. The 18 one-bedroom apartments are ideal for business travelers and families, offering overnight and long-term guests the space, convenience and privacy of their own home along with all the five-star amenities of the hotel. The athenaeum also features the athenaeum Spa; the Restaurant; the Garden Room, home to an award-winning afternoon tea (voted “Best in London 2012”); and the Whisky Bar, which offers the most extensive selection of whiskies in London and a full-time whisky sommelier.
