The Hotel Windsor
The Hotel Windsor in Melbourne boasts old-school class and elegance with over 130 years of experience in the business of meticulously made desserts. Where better for an ultra-traditional afternoon tea? From the moment you walk into The Windsor’s tearoom and soak in the traditional 19th-century décor, chandeliers, Noritake fine bone china, silverware, and arts and artefacts paying homage to Melbourne and The Windsor’s history, you know you’re in for something special.

The Grand Hyatt Melbourne
A delicious and luxurious High Tea in Style with Cristina Re’s elegant teaware at the Collins Kitchen, Grand Hyatt Melbourne. Step off the bustle of Collins Street into the hushed class that is Collins Kitchen. As a guest, sink into the very comfortable seats, enjoy the glorious – and very Melbourne – view out into the treetops of Russell Street and settle in for an afternoon treat.

Sofitel Hotel Melbourne
The Sofitel serves high tea seven days a week. A traditional high tea is offered from Monday to Friday. However the weekend buffet menu, which features all the hallmarks of the weekday menu has an additional selection of pastries and desserts. We recommend the croque monsieur.

Om Nom, Adelphi Hotel
The Adelphi opened in the early 90’s and was the first of its kind – forging a new kind of hotel movement globally. Owned by Melbourne’s iconic architects Mr’s Denton Corker and Marshall, the three designed a hotel they would want to stay at: luxurious with a touch of whimsy.

Sheraton Hotel Melbourne
The Paris End of Little Collins Street in the very heart of Melbourne invites you for a Parisian affair. On a weekend, you’re able to indulge in an irresistible dessert buffet, where opulent macarons and decadent eclairs from famed Melbourne patisserie The Crux & Co are paired with La Maison du Thé teas and of course champagne. With nine éclair flavours such as double vanilla, passionfruit and bitter chocolate, there’s sure to be something for everyone. This applies to the wide variety of macaron flavours, including cookies & cream, pistachio and jasmine (just amazing).

Strangers Corridor, Parliament of Victoria
Strangers Corridor, in the Parliament of Victoria, has been serving traditional afternoon tea since 1924. One of the first High Tea Society reviews, over 7 years ago, and part of the inspiration to the development of The High Tea Society, we decided to visit this sophisticated, elegant and historic venue again to see how the High Tea compared to the new players in the market. We have to say, we were pleased to see the offering had evolved and were very surprised this gem was not the afternoon hotspot for High Tea lovers.

InterContinental Melbourne The Rialto – temporary closed
Served in the hotel’s light-filled Alluvial atrium, The Clarke Sisters’ Tea Party experience, named after the two high-tea loving sisters who both married the man who commissioned the original Rialto building, is decadent and delightful. It features everything you could want from a great high tea – from the French champagne on arrival, to the classic white table linen, charming service and the appearance of the dessert trolley at the conclusion of the meal.
