High Tea at the Hotel Centennial

One of my favourite things to do with the girls is to have high tea, it’s such a nice way to spend an afternoon. I’ve managed to check out a few great high tea locations around Sydney from doing my Date with Kate interviews and I’ve started to develop a list of go-to spots. So in case you’ve got a high tea date coming up soon, here are my top spots to spend an afternoon drinking tea (or champagne if you’re indulging!) and enjoying sweet treats.

Luxurious: The Langham Sydney

The newly refurbished Langham Hotel hosts afternoon tea in its Palm Court area. I recently went here to do a Date with Kate with Gemma Ward and found it to be a really beautiful spot. The sweets were all amazing, but I especially loved the scones with cream and jam and their mini macarons. Everything was really delicate and pretty.

Great setting: The Hotel Centennial

I’ve always loved The Centennial as a lunch or dinner spot because the food is so great. I really love the venue so I was pleased to hear that they now also offer high tea. The Scarlett Lounge (as you can see below they even have a Scarlett Johansson portrait on display) is a really great setting and the food is delicious. Be sure to book at least 24 hours before to save yourself a spot.

The perfect backdrop for high tea at the Centennial

Best view: The Park Hyatt

I did a Date with Kate with Catherine Martin here and I just think you can’t go past the view. Not only is the food great but a beautiful sunny day spent overlooking Sydney Harbour is really unbeatable.

On-the-go: Westfield Sydney Tea Salon

This is located right in the midst of the bustling Westfield Sydney however its cute white picket fence makes it feel slightly more secluded and is a great way to enjoy high tea in the middle of a busy day spent shopping. I went here to do a Date with Kate with Sophia Grace and Rosie and Sally Obermeder and had a great time.

Rustic and relaxed: Burnt Orange

Located in a beautiful house, with surrounding bushland and a great view of Middle Harbour, Burnt Orange is great on a winter’s day. It’s got a lovely rustic atmosphere and I think it’s a the perfect spot to while away an afternoon.

For chocaholics: Shangri-La Hotel Sydney

I did a Date with Kate with Naomi Watts here and really loved the location. And if you’re a chocaholic you’ll think you’ve died and gone to heaven. The Shangri-La now offer a high tea that includes three tiers of chocolate-y treats including everything from cakes, to macarons and brownies.
