Boasting a soaring ceiling and marvelous city view, Pavilion is an elegant space in which to unwind and enjoy the finest flavors created by Executive Chef Damion Henry. Pavilion is home to The Langham Afternoon Tea, the traditional afternoon tea that first debuted at The Langham, London in 1865. Afternoon Tea includes proprietary Langham teas, and an array of sweet and savory bites. All are served with traditional displays and flourish, accompanied by live music Friday through Sunday—blending together to create a relaxing and pampering afternoon diversion. To finish, order a glass of champagne and toast to the perfect afternoon tea time.
The service was exceptional. The tea, sparkling juice (because I don't drink alcohol), and food was delicious. And the space was beautiful. My friends and I had a lovely time. I'll definitely be back and recommend it to other friends.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Wicked‑themed afternoon tea at The Langham Pavilion. The theme and presentation were outstanding, but what truly made the experience exceptional was our server, Deair. She was attentive, professional, and took the time to explain each element of the service from start to finish. Her pride in her work and genuine care for guests were evident throughout our visit.
Deair is an outstanding ambassador for The Langham — you are fortunate to have her on your team.

We’ve been to tea all over the world and this is, by far, the most expensive and underwhelming experience we’ve ever had. While the tea service is “themed,” the presentation is a bit of a stretch. Aside from the green elixir, one green sandwich, and the dessert items, the theme feels like an afterthought. There is no themed decor in the space and the food items come across as renamed versions of standard tea items. That said, the macaroon is absolutely delicious.
The harpist was a nice touch but she went on break three times during our 90 minute tea time and we were left with silence between performances.
The Moet add on at booking is a great value. This makes the cost $140 per person plus taxes and a 20% service/gratuity charge. Please note that all a la carte purchases will also incur an additional 20% service/gratuity fee. This includes adding additional beverages to your experience.
The tea service is coursed out for you. Items are brought as you finish the latest course. The server was very attentive in monitoring our pacing but we would have liked more control over our dining experience.
The tea service does not include a replenishment of any food or tea items. This means that you are limited to four tea sandwiches, two scones, and four desserts. This has not been our experience elsewhere, including in Chicago.
Our total for two was $380 plus $85 for additional champagne. It was not money well spent.

It was a very pleasant place for afternoon tea. I loved the harpist. Did not feel rushed. Perfect way to have quality time with friends.

Inattentive service, poor portion sizes, no refills of any form offered, and an atrocious value. Would not recommend at all
